God has left Himself discretionary power. Had He not done so, prayer would be an activity too dangerous for man. - CS Lewis
It is not more nor less strange that my prayers should affect the course of events than that my other actions should do so. They have not advised or changed God's mind—that is, his overall purpose. But that purpose will be realized in different ways according to the actions, including prayers, of his creatures. – CS Lewis
