Greetings beloved of God,
In Matthew 24, there is a fascinating glimpse at the place of prayer in view of, and in harmony with, the absolute sovereignty of God.
Consider the very familiar passage below. It matters not whether Jesus is speaking of the destruction of Jerusalem or His Second Coming. The principle holds.
Now consider what Jesus says in verse 20.
The sovereign Lord sets the timetable, but Jesus tells his hearers that they should pray that their flight be not in the winter, neither on a sabbath.
A lot to consider as it relates to the mystery of prayer.
PS - I make all Scripture verses a deep red. Not just the words of Jesus.

36 But of that day and hour knoweth no one, not even the angels of heaven, neither the Son, but the Father only.
Now consider what Jesus says in verse 20.
19 But woe unto them that are with child and to them that give suck in those days!
20 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on a sabbath:
