When you pray with hope and faith, it changes you by God's Will.
Here is the story, I read from my Telegram Motivational Channel: -
Title- Absolute Faith
During a dry summer, the farmers of a small village were worried about the fate of their crops. One Sunday after mass, they turned to their pastor for advice.
— Father, we must do something, or we will lose our harvest!
— All that is required of you is to pray with absolute faith. Prayer without faith is not prayer. It must come from the heart, — the priest replied.
For the entire following week, the farmers gathered twice a day and prayed for God to send them rain. On Sunday, they returned to the priest.
— It's not working, Father! We gather every day and pray, but there's still no rain.
— Are you truly praying with faith? — the priest asked them.
They assured him that they were. But the priest objected:
— I know you are praying without faith because none of you brought an umbrella when coming here! ???
