There is an abundance of prayers being answered everyday and in powerful ways, however, the real power behind prayer is the one to whom we pray.  Our God in heaven has the power to answer prayers in ways that are supernatural and defy natural laws.  Prayer does more to change the person who is praying than to change God’s mind because God does not change, He remains the same but the fact is that we are commanded to pray.  There is no confusion behind God’s sovereignty in all things and the command to pray, otherwise we would not be told to “pray always.”   Even a “no” to prayer is answered prayer.  Remember, Jesus prayed 3-times in the Garden to have “this cup removed from Me” but He did defer to God’s will by saying, “but not My will, by Your will be done” (Luke 22:42). "Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours" (Mark 11:24).
