Does God grant wishes?

Question

People all pray to God for success, money , to be successfull in an exam, a job interview , etc.
Do you think God God grants the wishes, or may the one who worked harder but did not pray to God will get the job, pass the exam, be successful etc.

Answer 1

No, but the Good Fairy does.

Go to God for the faith, love, etc., etc., and go to the Good Fairy for wishes! :)

Answer 2

God does not grant wishes, he answers prayers.
The Bible also says that ''The battle is not to the strong or the race to the swift, but God is the judge, He lifts up one and brings down the other''. God can show you mercy even when you didn't pray. He is rich in mercy and full of compassion. His name is LOVE.sometimes, its not just how hard we work.its Gods grace and favor poured upon ones life that makes all the difference.

Answer 3

All your prayers are not answered. When there are wishes made by many from different quarters, and if they work at cross purposes, is it appropriate for God, grant your prayer. You can float in the space, only when there is no gravitational pull or a counter force, operating from within you to neutralise the gravitational force. If you become so purified within yourself, you become desire less, selfless, all that you desire will be granted by God. But the irony is that when you attain that capacity, you no longer desire anything. Did Jesus ever pray for anything, for himself? Hence, for ordinary mortals, it is ok to pray and wish for things and pray for his grace to sanction them. In my experience, the reasonable prayers are always heeded, at the appropriate time.

Answer 4

Actually, all the answers i have read are true, even when they contradict each other.

Try to think of God as more than a magician, that can zapp you,

Prayers, and wishes are thoughts, and thoughts have energy and a life of their own,,,
you can pray, and affirm, what you want and why, and expect it to happen, immagine that, and claim that, and it will happen and then Give God the credit, all the credit for inventing you..
Include GOD IN ALL THINGS IN YOUR LIFE, AND THANK HIM AND YOU WIILL INDEED have him lead you the way you were intended, in his plan,,,

I have learned, that instead of praying for my goals to be met, and assistence with my plans.. to show me his plans for me,, and then i will have all the assistance i need,

Answer 5

Yes, God grants wishes but may not be immediate if its going to ruin ur life.

Answer 6

you do it all on your own, He can't give you a job or an A on an exam you do all of that work! He just helps you feel more secure about passing that exam and interview! works for me!

Answer 7

No, I don't think so. If God can do that, can you imagine how busy he is in fulfilling all wishes from human in the world?

We get good or bad luck because of our act. Do u do something bad or good? You yourself will get the result.

Answer 8

It all comes down to your own willingness to realize your wishes. Any time you pray or wish you simply remind yourself of the things you really want to do. God gave you free will to do or don't, to succeed or fail.

Answer 9

Whenever anything good happens to the deeply deluded, they think it was a gift from God. Whenever anything bad happens, it was God testing their faith. That's the way the minds of irrational people work.

Answer 10

God is not a genie. Most pray for guidance or strength to be able to make more money,good grades etc. We are not asking him to just give it to us.

Answer 11
