Prayer ushers us into the presence of God and it is impossible to spend time in God’s presence without being changed. This transformation will likely be so gradual that we will be aware of it only in retrospect, if at all. Still, over the course of a lifetime prayer will do its refining work, until at last we are conformed to the image of our Lord. We are not talking about a physical change, but a transformation of our character. As we consciously spend time with God we are being changed from the inside out. And as we continue to behold His glory we:
“…are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.”
— 2 Corinthians 3:18
Lord, do Your holy work in us, transform us we pray. Amen.
