How Can I be Sure the Bible is True?

Dear Abba - How can I know whether the Bible is really Your Word and authoritative or merely man's words and not worthy of my obedience or confidence.

My Dear Precious Child - I've given you many reasons to believe the Bible is My Word, but if you really want to know, read it and obey the teachings of my greatest revelation, My Son Jesus, then you will know.

John 7:17

Does Prayer Change God's Mind?

Dear Abba,
I know that praying affects changes in me, but do my prayers ever actually cause you to respond by doing something in the couse of events that you would not have otherwise done had I not asked?
