God gives you miracles everyday and talks to you many different ways all the time and still you choose not to believe him. If you pray, who are you praying to if you don't know who it is you are asking things from? God is not a genie in a bottle, he's not an ATM. God is going to give you what you need and not necessarily all your wants. How would you feel if your child didn't care a thing about you and yet only came around when he/she wanted something? We often see life sort of like we are looking through a straw. We only see a small portion but God is bigger and all knowing and sees things we don't see, like if you looked through a straw at something and then removed the straw and saw the bigger picture. There are things God sees we don't and that's why sometimes we don't understand why God doesn't grant our "wishes" is because God sees the bigger picture and is a loveing Father and wants what is best for you. Just like a small child, you can't explain to a 1 year old why they can't play in the street, they wouldn't understand. And they get mad and want their way and throw a fit. Our minds are so infantile, like a 1 year olds compared to God. We are human and therefore unable to comprehend all he does. But God wants you to know him first because he wants to have a personal relationship with you. He loves you and wants to open the windows of heaven and rain blessings on you till your cup runneth over. He wants to call you his son or daughter.
Just yesterday, I came home and found an envelope with a gift card and CASH in it in an envelope with my name on it. Someone had come up and put it in my mail box and the note said "Give thanks to the Lord". So I do! I have NO idea who God used to bless me, but he did! Take a step of faith and He'll take a step towards you! I used to be agnostic.. now I believe! And it's not just blind faith, there's plenty of evidence to back it up!

Faith is being sure of what you HOPE for. If you're not sure it's going to happen, it's exactly like you telling God He's not good enough to perform a simple miracle for you. This isn't to say that God isn't listening to people's prayers just because they're not saved. He's God. He can do whatever He wants. It's not about Him doing favors for YOU though, and until you realize the true meaning of God and His son, you're not going to get the miracles you doubt will happen anyway. Best wishes!

God is the one who made use
He knows our thoughts and our mind
He gave us a free will and He wants us to made the choice
weather to believe or not to believe
and when you do make that decision that's when you find the
truth .
so when you pray you have to believe with all your heart
and God knows if you don't
that's why your prayer will not be asked
but then God is a God of miracle and sometimes he
answers prayers from people that don't believe and also heals
then .
so never give up
but remember Jesus love you know matter what you have done
and wants to change your live forever

You must believe, at least a little bit in God/Christ or you would not be thinking about praying to God to ask for a miracle. Even as a believer Christ does not always answer prayers because maybe what we are asking for Christ knows we do not need. Christ wants you to believe in Him but you have to ask Him into your heart, He wants you to come to Him .

Ray of Light. Can you find smoke without fire? It is simple and it works like that. Without your belief, (Your faith in Him) He cannot work in you. JAMES 2:17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. The Faith in Him helps you put forward your action. YOu cannot expect a miracle sit in one corner and say to yourself that you will believe in Him only if HE does that to you. He expects you to take the first step. Give Him the glory when he does that thing for you. It increases your faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. Roman 10:17. Put your trust in Him. When you ask your earthly father for certain things, don't you believe that he will provide your desire? May God Provide.

why would you ask Him for anything if you don't believe in Him. Do you write letters to Santa at Christmas? Do you try to find the end of the rainbow so you can get the leprecan's gold? I would guess not, because you don't believe in them and what they can give you. Follow that same reasoning here. God is not Santa or a genie in a bottle.

Pray to Jesus and read the New Testament. If you truly want to understand and develop your faith. Jesus will answer you, He is real and very much alive.
The more you learn about God, the more He will reveal to you.

When you were born...that was a miracle...right? You did not have faith then! You are blessed even when you don't try!

Proably because he figures you would give the credit to yourself, or some other reason. Wouldn't you?
