“The function of prayer is not to influence God, but rather to change the nature of the one who prays.”

Soren Kierkegaard

Simplified Meaning:

When we pray, the main goal isn't to change what God thinks or does. Instead, praying helps us change inside. Imagine you are stressed about a big test. When you pray, you might feel calmer and more focused, which helps you study better. This shows how prayer can make us feel stronger or more at peace, even if it doesn't directly change our problems. Over time, it can help us become better people, more patient, and understanding. So, prayer often helps us grow and handle life's challenges better.
