My Husband is alive and well because God answered me
Yes Prayer holds more power than you think
It even holds power for the things you don't ask for but need

Good and bad things happen to prayers and non-prayers alike. It makes no difference. Those who pray don't live longer, healthier lives, don't get better jobs, don't win the State Lottery any more often than non prayers. The power of prayer is religion salesmanship. They will talk about the power of prayer but never talk about prayer failure. Remember that the 2004 Tsunami in Asia killed 300,000 people. Most were Muslims who prayed 5 times a day. It makes no difference. The same thing is going to happen.

Because sometimes our prayers "work", but not in the way we want them to.
But let's see, miracles that I've witnessed (or been a part of!):
1. A woman who had suffered from MS for years who was suddenly utterly HEALED. She had been crippled for about ten years, and she RAN into church one morning. The doctors? Puzzled!
2. A woman who had been diagnosed with a rare heart disease, who was given less than six months to live, HEALED. Her doctors? Puzzled!
3. A little boy who was hit by a car, and who wasn't breathing for several minutes before the paramedics arrived...right after I prayed for him and his mother, he started breathing, his color returned, and he was FINE. Not a scratch on his body!
4. I am a walking miracle. I should have died many times with all the things I did (curious? Feel free to message me. Have I got a story for you!), and yet I'm still here! God answered my prayers directly...first to understand Him, then to come into my heart and bless my life. And oh, has He ever!
Coincidence? I think not!

Dear Coincidental,
Nothing is a coincidence. God is in control. God will answer your prayers. Sometimes its, "No." Sometimes its, "Yes." And sometimes its, "Wait a while." God may not seem like He is listening sometime but He is. He hears the prayers of everyone. Just believe on Him and He'll be on time. God bless you. PZB
p.s. E-mail me if you need the scripture to these quotes-

when you really put all of your however little or much faith into your prayer and requests, you can do anything with it.
Luke 17:6. an example.
and God will answer prayers that are according to His Will.
so if u dont get an answer or He tells you no, its not according to His Will.
its kinda confusing though.
about having faith, about His Will, and His Plan yea.
cant really explain here, can ask others or look up sites bah.

faith my friend.
but if all your believing for are small things like
"Lord please make the weather nice on the weekend" or "Lord please help me pass me exam"... then of course you might think it just coincidence, but then there are the ones that take greater faith, like healings from cancer that the doctor said cant be healed, or a massive debt amazingly paid... both of which i have seen... its not coincidence.
i guess that when ur just throwing prayers up in hope but u dont read the bible or talk to other Christians, its harder to believe. but when you are actually seeking God and you have a personal relationship with Him, you cant doubt Him because you know Him and hear from Him.
Its awesome!

Are you more interested in that your prayers work OR how many times they work?Feel grateful that,unlike others who wait for years,your prayers get answered--even once in a while.

Because there are no meaningless coincidences. there's no such thing as 'just' a coincidence, it's more like, wow, what a great coincidence!
And you can learn to do 'it' (pray, affirm, manifest, cast a spell, whatever), in such a way that the coincidences happen more often and more satisfyingly.
