How do we know God's sovereignty and our prayers are compatible?

Answered in 1 source

God's sovereignty is fully compatible with our prayers; He has ordained prayer as a means to accomplish His will.

The relationship between God's sovereignty and human prayer is one of the great mysteries of faith. While God has determined the end from the beginning, He has also ordained the means by which those ends are accomplished, which includes the prayers of His people. The act of praying does not change God's will, but it is a way for us to be involved in His purposes. As seen in the story of Elijah, prayer is essential and effective because it aligns our hearts with God's intentions. Ephesians 1:11 states that God 'works all things according to the counsel of His will,' yet He invites us to engage with Him through prayer, emphasizing His desire for relationship and reliance on Him.
