it's good to affirm the will of God ... however the Scripture plainly teaches that requests and petitions be made and God will grant them (or not) according to His will ... it's impossible to change the nature of God, however it is possible for God to change one's circumstances ... and yes, to the thread, God does know the future.

However, there is no statistical study that shows that prayer actually effects outcomes. So this "power" of prayer is indistinquishable from random outcomes -- as if God didn't exist at all. Hmmm.

Thank you. Is "God's will" changeable then? - If God knows the future already, then is there not really free will, only destiny?
