How do we know prayer works in giving glory to God?
Answered in 1 source
Prayer is a channel through which we communicate our needs to God, and when answered, it invites us to return and give Him glory.
In the context of prayer, we understand it as a vital means to both plead for help and express gratitude. When our prayers are answered, it is essential to remember that God's responsiveness is a demonstration of His grace and care. Hannah's example in 1 Samuel 2 illustrates this; she diligently prayed for a son, and upon receiving God's blessing, she returned to give Him thanks. This act of acknowledgment not only glorifies God but serves to remind others of His faithfulness and power. Just as the leper healed by Jesus returned to praise Him, our answered prayers encourage us to publicly glorify God and affirm our trust in Him.
