Changing God’s Mind
Thought from reading Margaret Feinberg’s Hungry for God:
Some have said that prayer doesn’t change God, but only changes us. Yet on several occasions in the Bible, God makes a concession based on a mere human request.
She goes on to site Old Testament examples of Abraham, Moses, and King Hezekiah. Then in the New Testament Luke shares the story of the persistent widow. What are wanting to change God’s mind about? It is possible. Keep asking.
