Does prayer change things?
There are those today that say prayer changes things. Well, does prayer change things? I think so, but that’s not the primary purpose of prayer. Notice here, we entered this passage in worry and we come out in peace. What’s been changed? Have things been changed? No, nothing’s been changed. A storm is still raging. Waves are still rolling high. The thunder is still resounding and a storm has not abated. But something has happened to the individual. We enter with worry, we come out in peace. What’s really happened? I tell you what’s happened. Something’s happened to the human soul or the human mind. Prayer, my friend, does not primarily change things. It changes us. The individual was changed here. That is the secret of power today—prayer.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee
After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.
He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.
On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
