It brings to mind two quotations that address this concept, one from a classical theological philosopher and the other from a modern spiritual teacher:

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

"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." Wayne Dyer

Thanks for sharing.
