I will say if this boyfriend is a good person for you than yes God made sure that he came back. If he is not right for you than God did not do it, it is just a coincidence. Good luck with him. :)

It all depends. If you are a believer and your bf is not then it's not an act of God since it's not in his will for a believer to be yoked with an unbeliever. If on the other hand during those 3 years your bf came to be a believer then it could very well be an act of God.
If neither of you are believers, then God only knows the answer to your question. It could be God or it could be the Devil.

In a manner of speaking it is an act of God, God being the sum of everyone... but technically I would say it was an act of "intent". Intent channels Will, which is the force of the universe. I suppose you could call that God.

no because you must one pray the word and two you prayed your desire and not this dude you would have us to believe God went against this boy's will. to bring him to you but if it was that he was God's best for you and part of your destiny God would get you and him and position and if both had an open heart and mind God would make it clear so in that sense that is an act of God,

Yes, indirectly. God gave us the power of free will in the form of the universal law of attraction. You put out vibrations into the universe which have brought you the situation that you are currently experiencing. You made a deliberate statement of intention and attracted this set of circumstances into your sphere of being. We are the powerful creators of our own reality, as gifted by God. The trick is to believe that it can and will happen, don't worry about "how" it will happen (that's God's business) and put out positive vibes, get positive experiences, put out negative and get negative in return.

The tricky thing about this kind of question is that we assume that we can tell the difference between God's permissive and God's determinative will.
Pray for wisdom and joy in your circumstance.

God does answer prayer, But not always in the way we percieve it! Most of the time,we dont even understand it, I know i dont and i pray all over the place! Mumbling and muttering away,{im a bit ancient so i get away with it}..But i seldom even know when and if God answers my prayers..I just know he does!..You just have to believe it you see..Try it..You'l be surprised!

maybe it is. maybe he brought this boy back to you so you can bring the boy back to god? i don't know what his religious persuasion is, if even he is religious. but maybe you can grow together in love and spirituality with god. hopefully you keep praying, try for world peace this time because if this was an act of god then just maybe he'll hear this one to....(j/k)

Assuming this is a serious question, no. Why would you think that it would take supernatural intervention to make someone come back to you? I expect he came back for the very simple reason that he's attracted to you.
