How do we know prayer can change circumstances?

Answered in 1 source

Prayer has the power to change circumstances as demonstrated by biblical accounts of intercessors like Abraham and Elijah.

Scripture provides numerous examples that illustrate the power of prayer to change circumstances. Notably, the intercession of Abraham for Sodom illustrates how his communion with God enabled him to plead for the city's mercy (Genesis 18:22-33). Similarly, the prayer of Elijah, which resulted in closing the heavens and then opening them again, exemplifies the efficacy of fervent prayer that has been built up through a life of communion with God. James 5:16 reminds us that 'the prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.' These narratives affirm that prayer, rooted in a steady relationship with God, can profoundly influence the course of events.
