When you understand prayer as a Transformative agent, it inform how you respond to divine answers. The challenge is that we often come to the place of prayer with the mindset that it is all about things, circumstances and people.

However, it is imperative that we come to full realization of the truth that prayer is foremost # Transformative #. It is an avenue by which God changes your mindset and perspective. Transforming your heart and mind to align to His way and will.
Therefore, ” The Confidence we have in prayer, is that we pray according to His will – I John 5 vs. 14 – 15″.
His Will is revealed in the place of prayer. By knowing His will, you know His Heart and Knowing His Heart changes your outlook to life.
The Transformative nature of prayer is in the Grace, Wisdom and Strength we gain through the knowledge of His Will and Heart.
