Quote by Søren Kierkegaard

Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays.


Prayer does not change God, but it changes him who prays.

Summary

This quote implies that prayer has transformative power for the individual who engages in it, rather than directly influencing or altering God. It suggests that through prayer, a person may experience personal growth, change their perspective, find emotional solace, or gain a sense of clarity and purpose. Regardless of whether or not prayer has an impact on external circumstances, it is seen as a practice that can bring about internal transformations within the individual who engages in it.
