Yes, Once I fell off a cliff... well I sort of jumped but I had no choice. I cracked my head pretty hard at the bottom.
I think I died and went to hell... it was a boiling pit of blood, people were screaming in it all around me. Any who tried to surface or reach out would get slashed by flying serpents that skimmed the surface. This of course could have been a hallucination... I felt I deserved to be there for what I had done in my life, so I sunk to the bottom, resigned to my fate. There I saw a baby that took my hand and said, "wake up, I still need you!"
When I awoke, I was in that gulch with blood all over my face, matted in my hair and my head damaged. I couldn't walk... I had to drag myself out, one foot at a time and the pain was terrible as my shock wore off.
I prayed to God for the strength to make it out alive and swore to do all he asked of me if I survived... somehow I made it back up to the road and was delivered to the hospital by some motorists.
I believe it was a miracle!

A miracle is something that cannot be explained by ANY natural or physical means whatsoever. I have yet to see any such event, and the things people claim are "miracles" have perfectly natural explanations. People fall off cliffs, their parachutes don't open, they drive off bridges, they get caught in floods, fires, earthquakes, and other disasters, and they survive. Why attribute this to the workings of some mysterious genie-in-the-sky, when survival is nothing more than a part of human existence? Unless God, himself, flew down from the sky and wisked you away to safety, your survival is simply your natural instincts taking over, same as when an animal instinctively flees from danger and escapes against all odds.
"I prayed for a job, and the next day, I got one!" is not a miracle. You applied for jobs, filled out applications, put in your resume, went in for interviews, and someone considered you the best out of many. They did not come knocking at your door one day and say, "Hey, you want a job?"
"I prayed for my cancer to go away, and it did!" is not a miracle. Cancers go into remission, sometimes spontaneously, even without prayers being offered up. If you are very lucky, they don't come back. If you pray for a severed limb to grow back, and it does, THAT will be a miracle. It will never happen.
"I prayed for the doctor to be successful at [insert whatever treatment here], and it worked!" is not a miracle. Doctors and surgeons go through many years of training to get where they are; they did not just wake up one fine morning with all the skills of the 21st Century medical profession suddenly jammed into their brains by the whim of God. Thank the doctors, not God--they're the ones who put in the time, effort, skill, and money into learning what they did so that you could continue going to church on Sundays.
"I prayed for yada yada yada, and it happened!" NO, it did not! Or rather, it did, but not for the reason you think it did. It may have been fantastically amazing and unbelievable and unlikely, but that does not equate with "miracle."

The question is to find out "is there sure a way to get prayers answered?" ..... Well, look at the other side of the question ! Where does the prayer come from? The person praying for something has some wish, expectation, desire and wants that some greater power should perform, fulfil, provide or make it happen. Now suppose it does happen, is it not true that we come up with newer "wishes" ? Where is the end to that? Instead, why not look at a lasting solution, whereby just merge with the creator in a big way, whereby this problem of "will I get it?" gets dissolved !

I think that God only answers prayers that are serious, if your prayer has no use, and you're not sincere, then he can answer someone else's prayer, after all, he get's trillions of them. Also, human beings have free will, it's not like God controls us completely, he can't intervene and make someone win or lose a game. I've had a prayer answered, but only after I sought for the answer, and asked time and again. You must also look for the answer to your prayers, God isn't just going to come down in thunder and lightning and shout the answer at you.

God doesn't use magic or give is what we want cuz we ask for it. He gves us what he sees fit for us. And Dallas didn't have a prayer! OK bad joke!!! But really that was a skills thing! My pastor once made a joke about God not answering prayers about sports!!! He's a big sports fan and always got somethin to say about it! I wanted Miami to win!!! But Im sorry we weren't rooting for the same team!

God does not do magic. He did answer you, he said NO! Why would you pray for that. If all of your prayers are of a selfish nature, he may never answer yes, but he does answer you just have to listen.
By the way how old, or should I say, how young are you?

God does answer your prayers by letting good things happen all over the world. Satan's works are all evil on earth, and that's how God is helping by destroying Satan. But God will not always answer them, as I said, Satan is there.
And yes...
I prayed that my dog would be happy and not depressed, stressed, and crippled. The next morning, I thought maybe my dog needed a new toy after looking at her old one. I reached into all of my old toys, and I found a tennis ball. I threw the ball at her and she ran after it. God gave me the idea of giving her a ball. Which was a very simple solution. I had three balls. No not that ball.

God does not preform (magic).
He does answer the prayers of those who seeeek and love him.I think your whole point in asking this Q is to mock Christ and those who follow Him.If so,im sorry for you,i promse i will pray for you.Look out you could be his next miracle!
