Yes, for me. Lots of times. Specially when i was in school and i forgot to study i would ask God to help me and the teacher would say she has to reschedule the test for a number of reasons. that happened to me like 3-5 times during my 12 years in school and 3 years in college.

more important than looking at any of my personal experiences, try thinking of it this way when we pray the lords prayer and we get to the part where we pray "and deliver us from evil" what does this mean? to me it means keep me from harm or bad things even when i don't know it harmful or bad. how many times have we missed our turn on a street and thought about what an inconvenience it was, when in reality it was God keeping us from getting into an accident with a pedestrian, because God knew we couldn't handle the guilt or we suffer the loss of a loved one and wonder why God took them from us when actually God knew the other person couldn't have handled the loss of us first. I really believe everything that befalls us good or bad has runoff the fingertips of God first, and he won't put any trials on us that we can't overcome. I hope this helps a little bit. good luck, keep seeking Gods will and things will improve remember everything works out in the end. God bless you.

I used to go to a public school, but now I am home schooled.
In the public school I was nearly suicidal in the fifth grade. I was socially inept, and could hardly talk right until the third grade. But, I still had problems with a lisp, kids labeled me as a weirdo, because I couldn't talk right and I was shy. This label put me on the bottom of the social groups, the kids were cruel, and even many teachers treated me unkindly. I even had "friends" ask me if they could make fun of me with the other kids.
Unfortunately, the label fell onto my younger brother also, due to me being his big sister. When he was in the fifth grade, six boys nearly killed him on the play ground, they were practicing "WWF" moves on my little brother. The teachers did nothing about it, one of them actually watched it, but she did not even intervene. My brother was re-victimized by the principal, he made him sit in the room with the six boys and explain in detail what had happened, he was crying most of the time. The school did not even get into trouble for what happened, in fact, no one was punished.
I was in middle school when this happened to my brother, at this time, I was also having trouble with my peers. My two closest friends were persecuting me for being a Christian, I was also hated without reason. I wanted out and so did my brother.
We started praying and seeking God. We prayed for a new school that we could fit into and survive academically with.
After the school year ended and summer was drawing near end; my mother heard about on-line charter schools, they are like home schooling, but all of the classes are on-line. This was the answer to our prayers, finally we were in schools that fit our needs. God had provided the answer that we needed!
I am now an honor role student who is going to graduate next year, I have dreams now that would have been squashed had I stayed in the other school. One can hardly tell that I ever even had a lisp. God truly answered our prayers. My brother is now a social butterfly, he is one of the most popular kids in his school. He has a best friend and a girl friend who will be life-long friends with him.
When we pray, we ask God for his perfect will above all other wills. He knows better than we do every time.

God is constantly making miracles in my life, there are too many to list.
Here is a couple.
- I had a low paying job, and I needed money extremely, I prayed for God to help and He sent me a check for hundreds of dollars through IRS.
- I pray in the morning for God to keep me safe on the roads. There was at least couple times that I actually seen the deer run inches from my car, and if He would not have helped me slow down couple minutes before that, it would be nasty.
- Also, I don't remember when was the last time God let me be sick for more than one day, even for one day I don't remember when I was sick.

If it takes 'faith' to believe in something then that something doesn't exist. If there was a supernatural being running the show it would be obvious to everyone, there would be no doubt in anyone's mind as to who the true god is. The fact that there are thousands of different 'faiths', each having its own god and belief system is proof that the whole notion of a superior being is man made. You alone are the master of your destiny and only you can make change happen through determination and effort. Churches recruit the gullible and weak willed members of society through fear and false promises. The Pope for example, will tell children that Jesus in heaven, as well as Mary and the saints and the guardian angels are looking after them, but on a recent trip to Turkey, he wore a bullet-proof vest and traveled in the protection of his Pope-mobile. That's how much faith he has !
He knows it's all a crock of crap but that doesn't stop him from deceiving those willing to swallow his b/s.

If you don't believe in God, why do you capitalize His name? When I was a non-believer, I never did, (and I had no problem saying G-Dit.)
Anyway, my answer is a big fat yes. If I told you my story, would you believe me? My journey to God didn't happen overnight, it is a baby-step process. Start small.
Have faith for the sake of having faith. If NOT having any hasn't worked, try it the other way. START believing. You didn't get yourself out of messes, even though you don't believe and you didn't ask.

Marijuana
Drinking
Hating
Not knowing forgiveness.
Not knowing REAL LOVE
When I turned my life over to God, all these things occurred without me trying. And blessings like wisdom and truth and support have come as well.
Take heart child of god. Remember that Satan wants us to lose heart. Pray. ask God. Remember what Jesus did and what he says about what your going through.
There are some things that I struggle with. But I remember that God chooses the lowly things of this world to humble us so that none of us can boast.
We need to pray and choose God every time.
Pray for strength, and be fully Gods. Learn from Jesus. Give thanks.
I say this not to preach, but to share the truth that I have found and live.
Thank you God for your son, through whom we can have the holy spirit even though we were blind sinners before we turned to you.

So many ,its hard to count.But many I had to do some foot work myself.God teaching me as he taught a child.
God delivered me from a filthy mouth,instantly.From booze,drugs, the same day I was saved.Jesus wants you to ask Him to deliver you,then have faith.When I came to Jesus I fell on my knees and told him to take all of me.But then I smoked for 3o years,before he helped me stop.
I have prayed for you,some things are just a lesson for you.God wanting you to grow up fast.Keep the faith,time is short.

How long did it take you to create your messes?
Maybe the Lord is waiting and testing your heart and faith.
Some get delivered quickly and others may have to wait years.
My mom was healed of cancer when the doctors said there was no hope.
She also had me, when the doctors kept telling her for years that she never would have children.
It all comes down to faith.
Keep praying, believing and keep reading the bible.

Do not listen to anyone who says there is no God.There is a God, and there is his beautiful Son who is called Jesus. Yes my faith(mu middle name) gets tested a lot, expecially when I do not spend enough time with God. That is what happens when you do not spend time with him. I know because I am on the computor a lot, and have not spent much time with him lately. God has delivered me from many things eg- alcohol, nightclubs, pubing,going out with sleezy men, psycics, listening to rock music, so many things. Remember draw close to and he will draw close to you.

I had a relationship with a man who used to practice spell casting. I didnt know back in the time.
We moved from the city and Ive remained in contact with him for a long time. Loved him like crazy..the more I stayed away the more I felt like I was going mad with his love.
Then I started seing hallucinations and couldnt sleep at night from the sheer amount of weirdness that came infront of my eyes when I closed them.
I needed help. The only support I had was my mom.
I was about to lose my mind basically, after a few months of soul searching, I came across a woman who gave me a prayer scheme, told me to invoke the name of God many many times like a diet a fat person would take.
I did, and I got over it by Gods grace. Was a terrible time for me.
But the thing that showed that this was all Gods help even to a person who loved a man more than she loved Him, my mom told me of a dream she had when she first saw the kid I fell in love with.
She saw me and her going up in an elevator and when we reached the highest floor a bunch of short dark creatures tried to pull me into the elevator shaft. And his face was among them.
Having found out much later about this dream, I had the courage to ask her, what happened in the end mom? She answered:
I managed to pull you out of their hands in time before you fell into the shaft.
