Prayer – Relating Our Life of Prayer to The Tabernacle
![Kierkegaard Prayer Does not Change God It Changes the One Who Offers It](https://i0.wp.com/www.thoughtsofgod.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/Kierkegaard-Prayer-Does-not-Change-God-It-Changes-the-One-Who-Offers-It.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1)
Finally, Prayer is not meant to change God, who is immutable, not of shifting shadow. Prayer is meant to change us. We are as shifting shadows, “14Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. “
My Soul Has Become Troubled
![My soul has become troubled - In its most meager form compassion hums with hope as possibility. mythoughts, thoughtsofgod, thoughts of God](https://i0.wp.com/www.thoughtsofgod.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/My-soul-has-become-troubled.jpg?fit=640%2C360&ssl=1)
I am encouraged that, “My soul has become troubled,” is not unique to my self only, voicing some difference alienating me. Trouble is common to all humanity, and in humanity, these words, “My soul has become troubled”, were uttered by Christ.

Chapter 1 – The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Lord Jesus Christ
![The mystery of the incarnation is repeated every time a soul is created anew in Christ Jesus. Into the unholy being of a child of Adam, a seed of incorruptible and eternal life is implanted by the divine Spirit, and that seed is in itself, through the life of God, holy and incorruptible. Just as you may see in the sweet springtime the little white, spotless shoot, coming from the dark soil and out of the heap of manure, unstained by all its gross surroundings, so out of our lost humanity the Holy Spirit causes to spring forth the life of the newborn soul; and while the subject of that marvelous experience may seem an imperfect being, still he has that within him, of which the apostle has said, "His seed remaineth in him, and cannot sin; because it is born of God." He can sin, but that holy nature implanted in him cannot; it is like its Author, holy, too. mythoughts, thoughtsofgod](https://i0.wp.com/www.thoughtsofgod.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/The-Holy-Spirit-A-B-Simpson-Chapter-1-The-Holy-Spirit-in-the-Life-of-the-Lord-Jesus-Christ.jpg?fit=800%2C450&ssl=1)
