'I’ll say this as bluntly as I know how: I don’t think prayer changes God, or God’s mind, or God’s activity in the world. In fact, I’ll go further: I have a suspicion that to utter a prayer list according to some set incantation such as, ‘in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen’, might actually be sorcery.I am deeply concerned when humans think they can control God by invoking prayer rituals or practices.'

'God chooses leaders based on the heart, not appearances — just like He chose Samuel over his stronger brothers (1 Samuel 16:1–13). True leadership is redeemed in God’s hands, often unfolding quietly and unexpectedly. If we care about real social change, like Samuel, we must stay in constant dialogue with God and let Him guide us beyond what we can see.' - Simon Jones
