How do we know that answered prayers are not simply brought about by the Faith that God will provide for us, instead of God actually providing for us because of our faith? Does it make any difference what we have faith in as long as we have faith it will happen? Is it possible to have "blind faith" without any medium (like a god) to put our faith into?

Blind Faith refers to having unconditional and unquestioning faith in something you cannot see or explain... therefore, it stands to reason that ALL faith is blind.
In my opinion, prayer and the projection of positive energy (positive thinking) are the same thing. They serve the same purpose and offer the same results.
Every faith, religion and belief system in recorded history exercises the projection of positive energy (under varying names such as prayer, invocation, supplication, meditation, etc) to achieve what would seem to require intervention beyond human capabilities, including belief systems that do not worship an omnipotent deity. Even non-theists believe there is a power within themselves to change their environment for the better.
Does that make the answer yes? Yes, IMHO, it does.

This is what has been established. Imagine somebody is very sick who is very dear to you, the Doctors have performed major surgery, and you go and ask the Doctor what are the chances, and he says, we have done our best and rest is in the hands of God. We start praying and when we find our dear one comes back, we say, our prayers are answered. This is blind faith. You believed a long time ago, the world was flat and later with scientific proof, you agreed it is round because of the faith you had in your physics teacher. When you were a child, your mother said do not touch the snake and it can kill with its bite. You believed your mother with blind faith. In this case, you have blind faith without any medium(like God). I hope I have given you enough answers to your question.

Have faith in my answer.
Yes you can answer/grant your own prayers.
Take the course, "Silva Mind Control".
God already gave us this ability. It's just that we were never taught how to use it. We were always told, since we were born, that it was impossible. It's not. In fact it's very easy.
Just take the course and they will teach you how, in a matter of a few weeks. You will also be able to heal yourself and others, where doctors fail.
You will be taught, right off the bat, to have faith in yourself!
This is a gift from God that he gave to us and it has been simply laying dormant there.
You can look it up on the web and find out when the next and nearest classes will be held in your area.

I surely might want to admit, I had over three hundred people praying for me to get my eyesight again to 20/20 (It changed into at this Christian therapeutic conference component) and under no circumstances some thing exceeded off. yet instead of being bodily healed i changed into spiritually healed and that is so a lot extra extra proper than no longer having the flexibility to placed on contacts/glasses ever again. on a similar nighttime I witnessed a lady in a wheelchair-walk! certain, she changed into stumbling like loopy and changed into leaning on 2 adult adult males yet she changed into walking. She changed into paralyzed on her accurate area. THAT turned right into a miracle. So, certain, Jesus does nonetheless heal the unwell. He has replied to my prayers Dad and infrequently it would not finally end up the way i wanted it to bypass. yet when its Jesus' way then its proper and that i shouldn't might want to be stricken. :)

If you answer your own prayer, perhaps you're praying to yourself...?
"Have faith in God..." - Jesus Christ
