Real change is a change not in the state of external affairs, but a change of choice in relation to the external world, the presented options. This is how real change occurs. When a person prays for change, what they are really praying for is: one, a chance for a redo; and two, a hope that when presented with the opportunity for a redo, they will choose differently. That’s really what the prayer is for. The universe’s job, since it cannot make the choice, is only to present the opportunities for choice.
