This Purpose of Prayer Might Surprise You
Prayer is not primarily about getting what you want; it’s about God receiving glory through His response. When you pray, you are aligning yourself with God's will and inviting Him to work in a way that magnifies His greatness. Whether the answer is yes, no, or wait, God's response is designed to bring glory to His name. The purpose of prayer is not simply to change your circumstances, but to glorify God through the way He chooses to act in your life.
This shifts the focus of prayer from being self-centered to God-centered. When you pray with the mindset that God's glory is the ultimate goal and your greatest joy, you learn to trust His answers, knowing they are perfect. Whether He grants your request or leads you in a different direction, the chief aim is that His power, wisdom, and goodness are displayed. In every answered prayer, God’s glory shines through.
