have you every seen the results of prayers?

Question

If so .please tell me about them.Thanks

Answer 1

I have seen the uselessness of prayers.

Answer 2

My brother's eye was healed of a permanent scar across the pupil. I had food delivered to me without my asking or telling a soul about my need (only God knowing).

Bills were paid, family were healed of sickness, my mother was healed from a mysterious blood disease that no doctor could isolate nor stop from getting worse...

Yes I have seen these and more as a result of prayer with no other explanation possible. No chance for coincidence - especially a permanent eye scar going away.

Answer 3

YES! I have, and its incredible and only makes me praise the Lord even more- for all glory belongs to Him! He has answered many prayers in my lifetime- some very little but I know it was him and some very BIG! I will give you a BIG instance, where as my brother was a baby, 6 wks old and he had pneumonia, and this was in 1972 so they did not have the same meds we have nowadays to really treat it for a baby that young- the doc told my parents he would die, no question about it, his lungs were filling up so fast with fluid and he could barely breathe. My mom had faith the Lord would heal him at that time- and she felt peace about it instead of worry- she told the doc the Lord would heal him and the next morning my brother not only was doing better his lungs were completely CLEAR- and the docs were amazed, NOT coincidence. So of course my parents praised and thanked God for that.
A few years back my husband and I needed money to get our van fixed- so badly- we had no money to get it fixed and it was the only way we could fit our whole family into one vehicle so we really needed to use it. I prayed about it- and I know my husband prayed about it and we just gave it to God--- well 2 days later, and yes 2 days later my husband receives a check at his work for 500 dollars, from someone anonymous, the EXACT amount we needed for the van. WOW! Praise God! And that person still has not revealed themselves- not only did they bless us that day but others too with money. God works in wondrous ways, sometimes God comes through quickly, and sometimes He wants us to wait on Him. But He is always listening and knows our needs---we are more important than the birds of the air remember! We who love Him! Of course He will take care of our needs when we TRUST Him to, and wait on Him!

Answer 4

yes I've seen the results of prayer...

one was praying for a lady to get out of a very abusive situation... over two years.. but finally prayer was answered. The lady left and has not been back. Its a rough road for her, but with continue prayer and thanksgiving for God granting her to depart that situation, we have the FAITH that all shall work for the glorifcation of the LORD in this lady's life.

Answer 5

Definitely. Most of the time these experiences are too sacred to share, because you know there will be people on here mocking you and telling you its a bunch of crap. I have prayed to speak a language and saw miracles, have prayed to be healed and was, and on one occassion I received a vision, which I won't go into. Prayers are answered, even though we may not always be aware and they may not be the answers we want.

Answer 6

Many times. The major one was when I was 16 and prayed that somehow my life could change for the better. Two months later I was diagnosed with cancer (obviously not the better part here), but the experience definitely made me more mature and led me to be a nurse and to better my life. I have had too many answered prayers to be able to call them "coincidences."

Answer 7

i was at a reasturaunt one day last year with my little brother and mom. we were stuck inside because of some minor flooding, along with 20 other people. power was constantly going out, then fixing, news was on and sain it would get much worse. my brother got scared and said: didnt god promise not to flood the world again? and i answered : yep. he promised with a rainbow. 5 minutes later, everybodys going outside and saying: wow! thats so cool! we take a look and see a huge double rainbow in the sky. those other answers u got that say praying is a waste of time are bogus. this is a true story

Answer 8

Praying for something that comes to pass does not imply that the prayer caused it. How many times have you prayed for something that did not happen? Lots. It's a coincidence.

Plus, why is it that you claim the only prayers that come true are those that could have happened naturally. You never hear someone pray for an amputated leg to return and have it happen.

Answer 9

How does one go about proving cause and effect in cases of prayer and subsequent apparent 'results?' I don't think it is possible. Things happen; some people interpret their prayers as having an effect (through God) and others call it coincidences. It is all in your point of view. There is no logical thread of causation that can currently be drawn from prayer to effect, although I believe there was a recent study that concluded that prayer had no direct effect on the recovery rate or percentage of a group of sick people.

The thing that irritates me is that many people expect prayer to work like a spell, as if simply by asking God to do something, they can expect it to be done and can also be angry at God for not doing their will. This I see as presumptuous at the very least, to assume that a single person or group knows better how the universe should go than the God they worship. They expect God to do things for them, but they don't trust him. One cannot have an all powerful deity if one wishes to be the boss of him.

In my view, prayer, in its purely meditational form is a sort of attitudinal adjustment ritual, something that cleanses the mind of the one who prays and changes things for him or her in a subjective sense. It also eases stress and improves mood; thus it can be used as a healing tool. When one prays for others, the person prayed over may experience this effect as well as a sort of second-person induced biofeedback. Other than that, I think that God, if he exists, may listen to prayers, but he would not act simply as conduit (as in the practice of witchcraft) but as final judge.

I might also say that it is a matter of focus; in my brief flirtation with Wicca about 15 years ago, I focused on certain events and tried explicitly to affect their outcome using ritualistic magic. That is, until I realized that there was a certain "cosmic justice" that operated against evildoers and for the doers of good. People who did evil to me saw that malice come back on them tenfold, even without ritualistic intervention. This actually was an influence in an attitude shift wherein I decided to "leave it to God," i.e., allow cosmic justice to take place as it should. I am a firm believer in karma, although I do not necessarily attribute it to a personal God but to an overarching law of the Universe.

Answer 10

i asnwer this type of question a couple of times in my archives of anwers.
I once knelt down and prayed to learn how to pray, the instant i stood up the "still small voice" spoke to me an answer When i thought it said turn on the tv I walked across the room and turned on the tv and there on CBN was a minister teaching the lords prayer in Luke ch.11. the same answer was given to his disciples when they asked him to teach them how to pray.

but the greater reply to prayer was when i found a promise in the scriptures and asked to baptized with the HOLY GHOST, or to receive the GIFT Of thHOLY Ghost, a gift which is greater than being baptized by the spirit of God.
OH! BTW I also prayed to be baptized in the spirit of God about the same season that i prayed to learn how to pray, and thats how I think i became BORN AGAIN of the spirit and witnesses the Angel appearing in my room and the light of his SPIRIT FILLED my entire room and MY entire MIND as though I were seeing with the eyes of my own spirit.

Answer 11

Many, many, many in my life. God answers prayers. Those responses you have received that were negative, probably is because He didn't answer their prayer the way they wanted.

I was lonely. God brought people into my life.

I prayed for my parents sobriety -- I told God I didn't care how He did it, but just get them to stop drinking. Within a year, and life altering circumstances, my parents stopped drinking. They lived for 5 more years, and it was the best years I ever had with them.

I pray for peace -- He gives it to me.
I pray for comfort -- and I feel His arms.

God answers all prayers. You just need to tune in.
Wait, expecting God to answer. He will.
