I've been discussing the subject of prayer with my friends, and that's been interesting and educational. It began with me wondering what to pray for people, since God refuses to violate their free will. I generally pray for people's salvation or growth, but God won't make them be saved or grow. My friend Leslie said that though God may not make up their mind for them, He could, in answer to prayer, heap burning coals on people's heads (Proverbs 25:21-22), in other words, He might put them through a fiery ordeal to make them see that they need Him. Fascinating.
