TODAY’S PRISM · July 1, 2026
Prayer Also Changes the One Who Prays
About a 3 minute pause
THE FAMILIAR VIEW
“Prayer is mainly asking God to change what is happening around us.”
✦
ROTATE THE PRISM
There is nothing wrong with asking. Pain should be allowed to speak honestly.
But sometimes the situation does not change right away. Instead, prayer gives us courage, wisdom, patience, or truth we did not have when we entered.
We may come asking God to move the mountain and leave able to take the next step through it.
SIT WITH THIS
How has prayer changed me when circumstances did not?
What quality of God may be asking to become visible through me while I wait?
“Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
CARRY THIS TODAY
Bring your request honestly, then remain long enough to notice what love is forming in you.
“Prayer may change the moment—and the person who walks back into it.”
