Prayer brings Hope

" What means shall we have to join ourselves to the Lord of all, or how can we cling to Him?"

 On page 64, Boethius brings up the purpose of prayer and what does it actual serve if God is all-knowing and outcomes cannot change. God knows whats going happen in the present and future tense. That's a power that man can never truly grasp and never comprehend. So whats the point of prayer if man cannot sway God's plans? In the Bible there are many accounts of people praying to God for certain things to take place or be given to them and He provides. Was it because He felt compassionate and changed everything or was it that He knew they would need His help in that time that was already planned when the world began? Of course we will never know.... I believe that prayer is of course a intimate conversation between one and God and is a sacred thing. Prayer is not a persuasion speech that will make God give you what you want. I believe God wants us to pray so that we can see how much we truly need Him and to have that relationship with Him.Without it we would feel lost and anxious about each day.  It brings about a sense of hope not only for our lives on earth but once we arrive to Heaven.
