I’m thinking that just about anyone who reads this has heard the aphorism
“Prayer Changes Things”
A few months ago, I drove by a Church in the downtown Orlando area and read this on the sign out front:
“Prayer doesn’t change things. Prayer changes people and people change things!”
I’m not at all trying to make a commentary on prayer or different ideas about prayer or about spirituality in general. I believe we all can and should create our own spiritual path.
But I found myself in agreement with the idea that brief message contained.
And that’s all the more reason to pray.

I am a man who strives to be compassionate and believes that the life and teachings of Jesus still show us how to live and how to treat others in the 21st Century.***I believe that the tide of ugliness coming from elected officials and so-called leaders of the evangelical churches is a tragedy and must be countered with a renewed emphasis on modeling the compassion, teaching and life of Jesus.***I also believe that we have failed miserably in our stewardship of the Earth, our common home, and that this is also a grave failure of our corporate will and must be addressed.***These two horrible trends--the abrogation of the clear teachings of Jesus to follow in his footsteps and our failings to care for the Earth and all its inhabitants--must be resisted, must be countered with clear teachings and committed actions.***That is the mission, the driving force, behind our movement.

Prayer is really just focused intention. And whether you believe in one god, many gods, or no god, evidence suggests that there really is a lot of power behind focused intention no matter who or what you believe is on the other side of the “prayer.”
