Do you think that if I needed it enough... and if I thought it was meant to happen... and if I prayed to God every day and never could stop thinking about it... if it kept me up at neight and never left my head.... do u think it could happen?

To someone, maybe. Not you though.

I believe in all three types of miracles. There are the everyday miracles that show the beauty of the world around us; a sunrise, a flower, the birth of a child. There are the statistical anomaly miracles that are events so rare that we call them miracles; the cancer treatment that works despite the slim chances, the Red Sox winning the pennant, etc. And there is the supernatural miracle that can only come from a force working outside of the laws of nature; the Resurrection of the dead, the parting of the Red Sea, etc.
Can a miracle happen to you? Yes on all three counts. However, I do not think it would be something that is caused by your level of devotion or the amount of praying you do. Miracles happen because they glorify God (though I do have to wonder about the Red Sox...).

Depends on what kind of thing it was. If you pray for it to rain on you..it'll eventually happen. Unless maybe you live at the South Pole..in which case it might be snow. You might be in the desert, dying of thirst...that would seem more miraculous....but it's still just weather. Is it money? More money!! Sooner or later you'll get a cheque in the mail that you weren't expecting, or you'll find some on the ground...probably not as much as you want though.

Yes a miracle could happen to you. It depends on your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the true miracle maker. Thinking about it won't do you any good unless you are meditating on Scripture- if you don't think you have enough faith know that "faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God" Listen to preachers and read books by people who have experienced miracles themselves like AA Allen, Benny Hinn, Kathryn Kuhlman. Listen to their free sermons online- or better yet study the Bible and all the Scriptures about miracles and your faith will be increased!

In order for miracles to happen it must be Gods will . It has nothing to do with how much you pray { God hears us the 1st time } Miracles are usually unexpected . When groups of people pray for an individual they are all being totally selfless and this does work with God . I have been made aware of the fact that God is not A big SANTA in the sky at the ready to give, give , give whenever we want , want , want !
I have experienced miracles in my life , true miracles & I had nothing to do with them , they happened to me !

Who knows. But if you were so obsessed with the thought then I would wonder if you won't start looking for any little thing that might suggest that the miracle took place.
I had a friend once who swore to me that Jesus and sent him a $500 check. I asked him why. He said because he desperately needed it and because he prayed and prayed and prayed for it. Finally, the check came in the mail. I asked who signed the check. He said it was from Jesus. I asked again, who signed the check. He said from Jesus. Finally, it turned out that it was a refund from the IRS.
Did it actually come from Jesus? You tell me?

Yes, a miracle could happen to you. No, I don't think you need to think about it constantly and stay up all night because that would be considered worrying. If you're worrying, then you aren't in faith, and God can't operate in your life. Just pray about it, and believe God for your miracle. Instead of worrying about it, thank Him everyday for that miracle in the works.

miracles happen everyday, but most people are just too blind to see them. Like, for example, if you are stuck in traffic and the person in front of you goes 45 in a 55 zone i rush hour where every on else is going 65, when you try to pass them, them come into your lane, right after you are out from behind them they speed up to 60. when you are about to blow a fuse, you notice they slam on their breaks and the person behind them runs into them. You have just escaped a planned accident, it was a miracle.
some would also say that a child's smile or laugh is a miracle.
You know the feeling when you pass day care around lunch or after noon and you see the kids playing out side? You, and everyone around, smiles. This is a miracle.
But if you would like to give a miracle to those around you, smile at them and say something nice and heartfelt to them, you will make their day.
But start out small, next time you are in traffic or even just walking, wink at someone you would never have the courage to, like the shy girl who is really beautiful but no pays attention to. You will make her feel beautiful and she will think about you for the rest of the day, if not week.
God preforms miracles through people. Why not start being a tool for Him to produce miracles through and soon you will start
seeing the miracles He preforms through others to you?

If it is God's Will. Keep praying. That's your best thing to do. And yes I do believe in miracles. My sister named Miracle was a miracle child. She almost died at birth, but God gave her strength and she is 26 years old and healthy!

I have seen miracles. I know that one could happen to anyone. It is all dependent on God's will, though. You may ask God, and if you seek him in humility and earnestness, and it is his will that what you ask of him be done, he will do it. If it is not his will, he will not do it. It depends entirely on what you are asking, why you are asking it, and whether God's will is foremost for you. If you are seeking something that is self-willed, God will not provide it.
Seek God in earnestness and humility. Miracles will happen in your life as a result. Maybe not the ones you wish for...but you will come to understand exactly why those you wished for were not granted if you come to know God.

Yes, but you need not do all that. You need faith that it WILL happen. You also need to get a group of believers together. For it is written if two are more come to Him in prayer, He is there with them. So I believe it will happen for you, do you? And remember, ask and you shall recieve, knock and the door opens for you. He might not answer your prayer the way you expect. But He will, in time. He knows you better than you know yourself. God bless. Peace be with you.
