115. Is not praying asking God to change a law of nature which He established?

Is not praying asking God to change a law of nature which He established?

It is not. Even an earthly father can answer the prayers of his children without changing the laws of nature. Certainly then the heavenly Father, who made the laws, can answer prayer. God is not the servant of His own laws; His own laws are His servants. If it were necessary to change them in order to answer prayer He could do that, but it is not necessary. For a long time I lived by prayer, everything I had came in answer to prayer. I know God answered my prayers, but I have no reason for supposing that He changed one single law of nature to do it. The laws of nature are not something that govern God, they are simply God’s fixed way of acting, fixed by His own free choice.
