When I was a child I prayed for my father to live until I had my first child. I was around 8 years old.
Then I was 35 and pregnant for the first time. When I was 8 months along my dad told me his white blood count was "off". Told me the DR said not to worry he was going to have it checked again later.
At that moment I knew. In a rush I remembered my prayer and a voice in my head said, 'It is time".
4 months after my daughter was born my dad died. God had allowed my father to live longer than planned because of my prayer I know it! AND I was a backsliding Christian at the time! I then got my sorry butt back to church.
Rob I have many more If you want to hear an amazng one e-mail me.

Answered Prayers do not just happen with a snap of a finger.I had spent day in and day out beating my brains on the computer for answers of how to get help as I was awaiting my day as to when my Attorney and I would appear before the Administrative Law Judge for my second chance for Social Security Disability.Mean while (as I am a home owner) I was going into depression as my house was 7 months behind in Mortgage,I was affraid to go to sleep as I kept thinking that someone would come to my door at any god givin time and put me out in the streets,dogs and all.My home is my prize prossesion and I was not going to lose it as so many told me I would,including a buisness.I could not get the help I so badly needed,not even by friends,my small family was only able to do so much.I sware on my mothers grave....that all the hard searching,running into dead ends as I felt I was in some phyco maze,I asked by the grace of god to please put an envelope in my mail box towards the answer of my prayer.That next day the envelope was here.Within 2 weeks I had won my case,and today I still have my home,everything was paid back and even though I lost so much sleep,weight,my happiness,I have a bit of road to travel on as I basically freaked my own self out and it has caused some damage,but if it weren't for that final prayer and the time I spent on the computer,telephone and the good lord finally relizing I was about to drop,my answeres from prayer arrived.I hope that this has been of some use for you,as the bottom line is.....he needs you just as much as you may need him
but it takes 2 to tangle and depending on the situation.

Yes, I do....how much time do you have?
Yesterday, Prayer solved an e-mail problem I was having when nothing else worked.
Prayer and the Lord's healing is the only reason after 4 knee surgeries that I'm not in constant, all the time, everyday pain, like I was in.
I spent 8 1/2 years in Covenant Players (a Christian Drama Ministry) and have had many, many, answered prayers of all kinds.

My son was born premature (at 26 weeks). He weighed 1lb 2oz. We signed a DNR when he was 5 months old, as he was coding almost every day. I turned it over to the Universe, there was nothing I could do. Within in two months, he was transferred out of the NICU, and in to a Convalescent home for children. He came home 18 months later.He is now a happy and healthy 6 year old who enjoys going to school and riding his bike - all the things kids are in to. He is the light of my heart.
That's just my most dramatic example. I have found in every single aspect of my life, if I put my problems. hopes and dreams in God's hands, everything works out ( if not always the way I'd envisioned it, always for the best)!

A few years ago my son started doing drugs. I knew it but he was 18 and I was so upset because I knew the only way he would quit was if he wanted to. I turned it over to God and started praying for him and asked everyone I knew to pray for him. Within a few weeks he was arrested which I wasn't sure was answered prayers at the time but it scared him so bad that he vowed to never touch another drug and hasn't. He has finished College, gotten married and has a good job and a beautiful new baby.

Yes, I have many but will give this one. My cousin has a bad heart his first surgery was when he was twelve at 35 he had gone through more surgeries than I can remember.
At that time the Dr's said one more time that is it. they gave him a 5% chance to survive he had a young son at the time and he wanted to live for him. They had said his heart was to bad and he had infection that had destroyed his sternum they were going to give him a plastic one to rebuild it if possible. We had prayer chains from Michigan down through Alabama going for him. When they opened him up he was fine his sternum his heart everything it was nothing short of a miracle through God.

My mother's and mine were answered at the same time but it took me a while to understand that. She was dying. I prayed she would live. She prayed God would let her die so that she wouldn't be in pain any longer. God answered her prayer and took her. And months later when I was sitting outside watching the morning sun rise in the sky I realized He answered mine as well. He did let her live. She is living forever with Him, without pain, in Heaven. Praise be to God.

Yes, I asked for the truth. I picked up a book of Thomas Jefferson's writings and became a Deist.

I have been through many negative things in my life. I have suffered through a lot of pain and grief. I was very angry at God for a long time. I believed that Jesus suffered and died for my sins, but I wandered away for a long time. I was afraid of God also. I felt like he really didn't care. He DID care, it was me who was running away and not trusting him. It was me who put him aside for worldly things. It was me who let all the grief and pain take controll of my life and the devil continued to lie to me... He, the devil, loves it when a person is under all this bondage.I was going through some physical problems that had me very stressed out. I wound up on my knees, crying out to God, calling Jesus to help me. I said to him, "I am that little woman in the Bible Jesus, the one who crawled through the crowd to touch the hem of your gown, knowing that in doing so, I would be healed. I asked him to forgive me, I asked him to take and break me and remake me into the person he intended me to be. I asked him to change my heart, to take the filthy words from my mouth and give me a mouth that worked for him. He answered my prayers! It wasn't overnight, it was day by day. I started attending a church, reading his word and growing in his word through Bible study and the help of other christians. One day one of my sons said to me," Mom, you don't curse anymore." I hadn't even realized it myself, but yes, my mouth had changed. It isn't important what we put in our mouths , but very important what comes out of our mouths. My prayers are always answered. It may be with a yes, a no, or a wait, but yes, they are answered. Sometimes I don't always get what I ask for, but in the longrun, it comes out the right way, because it is his way. Jesus is the Way, The Truth and the Life! God Bless you.
