Could you give an example of a prayer that was answered that could only be God and no other explanation?

Question

Help us nontheists understand. Is there something that you prayed for that happened that can not be explained and could only have been God?

Something in your own life?

Please I beg you, what example is there that you have, help us understand we are so desperate to have a personal relationship with God and many of us have prayed but most of what has happened we see causes for that can be explained that were not God or angels.

Please please, I really want to know God. Please help me I so want to know which prayers were answered that could only be God that could have no other non-God explanation.

Please give us hope that we might truely know!

Answer 1

I tend to horse around a bit much - but I am serious when I say my youngest brother's eye was healed.

The problem was when we were kids he scratched eye and did not tell anyone, just rubbing his eye occasionally. after several days of this the parents finally questioned him (the boy didn't cry or go on over it, and you know it hurt)..., they took him to the eye doctor and he they waited too long - scarring had set up and he would have blurred vision in that one eye. He gave him some eye drops for the pain, and some medicine for a slight irritation.

A few days later was prayed for by the Church - the next morning my little brother could see clearly. The scar was gone! Finito!

I could tell you other such true stories and far more interesting experiences - but somehow I really doubt you believe me, or would try to explain some other reason for this healing if you did believe me.

If you do not believe me? I'm not going to loose any sleep over it. What I said is true regardless of what anyone else thinks. I have nothing to gain other than just sharing. I don't want your money nor to benefit from you one way or another.

Answer 2

There is no such example. Everything that happens has an explanation. Maybe we might not know it today, but we will know it sometime in future. We cannot use the god-of-the-gaps theory to explain what we currently cannot explain. Just wait for some scientist to explain it.

Answer 3

The best example of a prayer answered exclusively by God with no rational explanation would be a prayer that God answers with a no.

On my honeymoon cruise I lost my wedding ban over the side of the ship. We were devastated. A year later, as I was filleting a flounder I'd plucked from the Atlantic, my knife encountered a hard object. And yes, you guessed it, it was my thumb!

But we're still praying & I'll let you know the moment it comes true.

Answer 6

A friend of mine prayed to God asking her to show her who she was suppose to marry. She prayed this for years. She had a dream where God showed her what her husband looks like. One year later she met that man at college. They were married one year after that.

Answer 7

If a person is not willing to accept God’s existence by faith, then they are definitely not ready to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior by faith (Ephesians 2:8-9).

There is nothing that I can say to prove it to you. Sorry!
How about you prove to me that God does not exist?

Even if I told you a hundred stories about how God has answered my prayers you still wouldn't believe me.

You build a relationship with Jesus by praying, reading and studying his word, and by praising him.

If you seek him he will reveal himself to you. Pray that he reveal himself to you every day& read his Word and you will find him.

Oh yeah and sometimes God answers prayers by saying no.

Answer 8

Yes I could give such an example, but what worked for me required faith. The confirmation comming only as a result of faith, not instead of it.

Gal 6:7-8
Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. (KJV)

Answer 9

Easily.

Once when I was about four years old, I prayed that someday I would have a brother. In middle school, I prayed that God would help me find the right boyfriend.

Well, last summer, I was in love with this guy who didn't love me back and I was heartbroken. I was bound and determined not to fall in love with anyone this school year because I'm going to college next fall and I didn't want to have to deal with a long-distance relationship.

God had other plans.

It was the first night of youth group last fall. I met a guy at youth group totally at random. He became like a brother to me. I felt like I had known him my entire life. But I resisted falling in love with this guy with my mind, soul, heart, and strength. I did NOT want to fall in love with him. Nope. Did not. Wasn't gonna fall in love with this guy on my own will.

God had other plans.

I fell in love with this guy. He fell in love with me. Ironically enough, he was resisting falling in love with me as much as I was resisting falling in love with him.

But God had other plans for us that were way more awesome than our plans for our own lives. So, God gave me a brother figure and a boyfriend in one year. It was totally random. I can't explain it any other way than God.

And I'm quite sure I know what you're setting me up for and I don't care what kind of criticism I'm going to get for this.

Answer 10

god does not exist. The sooner you come to this realization, the sooner you can live your life without guilt, since you, inevitably, are a sinner.

LOL!
