"The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results." James 5.16 NLT

God works through prayer and it “produces wonderful results”. As prayors, we hope the results would be as what we pray for.

But prayer is not a bank automated teller machine (ATM) where we put in a card and get the result that we choose on the machine. Prayer does not work like that.

God decides what the result will be. And he has good plan for us, so the results will be wonderful one way or another.

Prayer can change the situation of the person or people that we pray for. When we pray, prayer is an instrument of change.

And the most important change of all is that the discipline of prayer changes the prayor.
