Son, it is true that I never violate my gift of free will. However, this does not mean I do not exert my influence on my sons and daughters to encourage them to make the right choices. The more you pray, the more influence I will bring to bear on a situation. You remember my son Paul? He needed some encouragement to be my man. And remember Mordecai? I put him in the life of my daughter Esther to help her make a right choice for my people's benefit. If I can change the heart of a king, I can certainly change the heart of a loved one. Do not quit praying. I delight in your prayers. They DO make a difference.
The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, like the rivers of water; He turns it wherever He wishes. Proverbs 21:1
