mine is kind of silly, but here goes. I was at my ex-boyfriend's house hanging out with him and his family (all strong Christians by the way). I got a migraine and couldn't even move. His parents placed their hands on me and said a prayer. At the time I thought it was weird they would do that, but I got this strange sensation and just a couple minutes later it was GONE. I wonder sometimes if it was nothing, or can prayer really work like that?

Yes and YES!!!
I too suffer from migraines and had family lay hands on me for prayer. I am blessed; with a family of prayer warriors! Yes, He did comfort me and take away that migraine.
Prayer draws us nearer to God (at least it's supposed to). When we draw nearer to Him, we get to know Him and His heart.
When we are praying the will of God...He is faithful to answer our prayers!
I believe there are three answers to prayers:
1) YES! (And you may have it NOW)
2) No (It will either hurt you, someone else or it's not a part of the big picture)
3) Wait for my perfect timing...
Never give up on prayer...my mother prayed for me for 20+ years...and now I'm back in the flock (Jesus' hands). Prayer works!!!
((True story: recently a very good friend of mine had a death in her household. She was having trouble sleeping. Actually, she wasn't sleeping and that was not only hurting her...but the rest of the family.
One night while we were on the phone; before we hung up, I asked if I could pray over her. As I prayed (and it was a short prayer) I asked God / Jesus to comfort her, allowing her the rest she needed so desperately...binding the hands of the enemy in Jesus name and that He would bless her and keep her...I ended the prayer quickly and she had already drifted off.)) As I was talking with Our Father in Heaven...He was saying; YES!
We need to intercede for those that need our help.
Miracle: I had family member (child of God) experience a stroke that was a bleeder (not the clot type). The doctors couldn't do anything to stop it. What was done was done. We had family gather from around town (we live in a big city). Everyone made it to the emergency room and had just enough time to say our good-byes before they slipped into a coma. We did pray...and God answered our prayers.
The one of the many miracles performed by God that night was that everyone was able to say their good-byes. Strokes (both kinds; bleeders and clots) effect speech...as in, they either can't talk at all OR their speech is so slurred that you can't not understand them.
I could see God's mercy on our family that night. I see it everyday.
Grace to you and God Bless!

Many of the problems you may be facing could be just the tip of the iceberg on what is really happening in your marriage. I dont mean to scare you but many problems when they either first show up or if they keep reoccurring could be just whats showing from a larger problem that either you or your spouse cannot even see. One of the only things you can do to help is to talk honestly and openly with each other in the marriage. If things become more serious more serious options need to be looked at as possibilities. I have a blog that has more information on some of what I've been writing about. If you feel like checking it out I would completly suggest it. Read here https://tr.im/TayIk
Love is a choice that is made everyday when you wake up and every night when you go to sleep. Some days you may not feel the original feeling but love isnt a feeling or an emotion. Its an action a verb. Falling out of love may just mean you need to spice things up a little or that you were never in love in the first place. Don't just get out of a marriage just because you don't think you like the person anymore.

Several years ago, I was delivering papers at night. The roads were icy. I was driving a van. As I was crossing a bridge, the van spun out of control just as an 18-wheeler was coming in the opposite direction. I was sure we would collide. Somehow, the van jerked to the right and I ended up against the guard rail. No damage to the van or myself. The 18-wheeler blew by...
As I was sitting there catching my breath, my cell phone rang. It was my wife. She said she suddenly felt a strong need to pray for me and she had been doing so for the last 10 minutes.
Maybe it was a coincidence, but I'm not buying that.

Good for you for believing that miracles can happen in this day and age. I, too, have experienced a miracle. At the time of my marriage, I was hoping to become pregnant as time was quickly passing for the possibility. Unfortunately, my doctor advised me that I would not be able to conceive because I had entered menopause and my hormones were extremely low. My husband prayed and within a few months, I was pregnant. I now have a 12 year old child who I truly believe is my miracle baby. I went right back into menopause after her birth, so I was pretty certain that this was my one and only child and I thank God He gave me her.

Yes I did! I actually experienced both miracles and answered prayers.
You experienced miracle about your migraine, while I experienced mine about my misaligned bones, poor immune and respiratory system, dysmenorrhea. I owe so much to the Lord for He has restored me and made me brand new. Even though I have not been a good Christian before, He has forgiven me. He still did not leave me. He still loves me.
God always answers our prayers in three ways. Sometimes He may say Yes (and He gives us what we need - not what we want!), No (and He gives us something better), or even Wait (and gives us what He says is best for us). Remember, just continue to pray because for sure, God hears you! :)

i believe that could happen ... sometimes when i need guidance i pray and usually my prayers are answered .. like example i was divorced 8 yrs ago but i really loved my ex still and he would still try to get back together with me by the way he cheated that's why we got divorced neways i would pray and ask god to guide me because i had 2 kids and didn't want to hurt them neways the next day he called me and told me he was seeing a girl and she was pregnant .. so god gave me my sign and i have been happy ever since ... there are many other times he has come through for me too .

Prayers Answered?
Thoughts are things, altough we cannot see them. God is eveywhere and in everything. When we align ourselves and our intent and thoughts with God's, we are made whole.
Can we prove it? Not with so-called scientific means. But when prayers again and again show positive results, then we better belive it!
Can we prove thoughts? No. Do we believe they exist? Yes. Can we use them, although we cannot see them? Yes! There is much our materialistic gone science unfortunately refuses to accept!
Can we improve on prayers? Yes.
When we pray, "Dear God, let the terrible war in the Mid East end," we send terrible war thoughts to that region. However, when we pray, "Dear God, thank you for now letting love flow into the Mid East region," then we get these loving thoughts on there way there, even God personally, for God is love.
Let's keep praying the positive way, lets create Paradise on earth, starting with us and our prayers.
Blessings to you!

prayer is awesome sweety The only reason I am here and my life was spared in a bad accident a few years back was the miracle of prayer. I was in a coma for a while but Jesus brought me through it and I know He shouldnt have but he was answering the prayers from his children

Good for you! Remember this the rest of your life, and know that only you can know if it was an answer to a prayer or not. Faith is a very personal thing.

Texting lets you control the tone and establish what kind of conversation you want to have. Learn here https://tr.im/2hOwa
This is probably the most important part. With texting, you can stop and think about what you want to say to your ex at each step of the way. Instead of reacting emotionally, you can take your time, figure out the right thing to say (I’ll give you most of it), and be strategic with your ex without saying something that you’ll regret.
