God answers prayer? Could you please pray to him and ask him to answer amputees' prayers?

Question

I have noticed that so far, unless I'm mistaken, God has never answered amputees' parayers. Or if he does answer their prayers, he won't ever answer the ones about them getting their arms back.

Since God is all-powerful this is very puzzling to me.

I have heard from some who replied to an earlier question, that God desn't exist. I don't like that reply, so I'm begging you people who have good connections with God to pray to him and ask him to please please answer amputees' prayers.
Thank you.

Yes, Tribble Macher, good point! Jesus re-attached some guy's ear right when Jesus was being arrested. So we know Jesus can do it, and presumably God can too.
So come on people, pray that amputees' prayers will be answered.

Answer 1

I don't think you'll get many answers to this question.
BTW, you'll notice that no religion has their particular earthly representative performing that miracle....because they couldn't fake that.

Answer 2

You've got two problems here: First, you're assuming that the only way to fix an amputation is for the spontaneous regeneration of a limb. Many amputees have their prayers answered with prosthetic devices. Second, you're assuming that God should undo things that he's decided are not reversible. We could just as well ask why God doesn't regenerate the arms of apes, or why he doesn't regrow the heads of the decapitated, or why he doesn't raise those who are dead, or heal a pig who is in a sausage grinder. It's a silly question, really. Some things are permanent. They are not reversible by any amount of prayer, and they're also not reversible through our best use of science. Yet we hear you (and the "amputees" guy) complaining that failure to heal amputees is evidence that God doesn't exist, and yet not mentioning that medical science failing to heal amputees is a shortcoming of medical science.

Answer 3

i've seen that website and there are a few things that dont make sense to me - why use amputees only - how about the blind, the mute, dwarfism, mentally challenged - there are 100s of things you could use - b/c you dont see amputees getting their limps back you assume there is no God

God is about saving souls not bodies - an amputee has every opportunity to be saved as anyone else, becoming an amputee is another challenge/trial in our lives that one must go through
I bet there are plenty of amputees that have found God since becoming an amputee but probably wouldn't have if it didnt happen - now you will take that and assume God cut off their arm or leg - no, but God can use that to bring a person closer to Him
all of those 10 questions on that website can be answered and for the most part just dont make sense if you try looking at the world from God's perspective

Answer 4

I do not know how best to tell you this but God was aware of your predicament before it happened, and He allowed it because of some lessons in it for you. A broken limb or a missing limb, a broken heart or a missing heart, or any disability for that matter, none is as important as the lesson we learn from the situation. Perhaps God wants you to understand the 'other side' of a situation, and maybe see some strength from it. For example, if people never missed arms, artificial ones would never have been designed.

Do not pray first for new arms without first praying to understand what was there for you in the first place. And whatever happens, always know that God is standing by you.

Answer 5

God answers prayers but sometimes we don't like the answers He gives us. As far as regenerating our bodies to replace missing parts... whether it is a uterus for having a child or eyes to see or arms... our bodies are not made to regenerate... but when we are in heaven... we will be given new bodies free from any ailment. The key is to live according to God's plan and accepting the Saving Grace of Jesus Christ... so that when this life is over, we will be with Christ and the Father in heaven with our new heavenly bodies.

God isnt a "magician" that makes things appear that were not there when we prayed.... He doesnt answer prayers 'in that way' but He can and does give us strength to overcome those things that burden us or cause us frustration or pain or suffering.

Praying that God helps these people in a way that they know it is God giving them strength

Answer 6

God does answer prayers....sometimes though, it's NOT the answer we were praying for! I am a Christian and I know first had how hard and how much it hurts with seems as an unanswered prayer, (God does answer them, but in HIS time)....or we may not want to accept the aswer He gives us. I say this again, I know this first hand! I have thought that with out a doubt that 'this thing' would happen...and when it didn't, my husband and I were torn with pain....but, the thing is, you still have to have Faith and beleive in Him that He DOES love you! You also have to remember that we have "free will" and there are things that happened to us that He NEVER wanted for us! But, because we think we know what's best, we do what we want (like a stubborn 2 year old child) Many times, He does try and stop us from making this mistake, but we still keep trying and finally, He allows us to do what we want....You know, like when you keep telling your child "No! Do no do that, that will hurt you! and you won't like the outcome" But, finally you put your hands up and say, "okay, if that's what you want but, we'll don't you know, I will say told you so!" So, God does know the outcome of our actions, He may even try to stop us....warn us...but He loves us so much that we can say NO to Him, We have 'free will' to do it....No one can 'grow new limbs' and that is horrible, truly it is....but if you beleive in Him, trust in Him in ALL times!!!! God can use you...you can make a difference for someone else. He knows how strong you are right now, He is calling you to lean on HIM!!! Go to Him and trust Him...by the way, we are human and He knows that we have doubt, fear, anger, pain, etc.....those emotions are also things He created and it's okay to use them...just don't let them over take you.....God Bless you!

Answer 7

You need to have a proper understanding of what prayer really is.
God IS NOT some cosmic Kris Kringle, doling out favors and gifts. Although that does sometimes happen(but always in accordance to His will)
Traumas and hard, miserable, difficult times are challenges to grow. You don't grow much spiritually when you aren't challenged.
Prayer is a self-judging, a coming to agreement with God. We might lose parts never to be returned to us, but are we not to be seeking the spiritual?
Read E.M. Bounds' works on the subject of prayer.
There are alot of modern ministers(so-called) that have turned the doctrine of prayer into a name it and claim it grab bag of God's goodies. They've made their money by fleecing the flock...and left many thousands wondering why God doesn't seem to answer, or care.

Answer 8

Have you considered that God knows how much you are capable of doing exactly as you are? There are many people with physical disabilities who are making a huge difference in the lives of others exactly as they are. God’s grace really is sufficient. Your mind is whole. You have a lot to offer others once you get past feeling sorry for yourself.

Start living for other people and I guarantee that you will find far more rewards than could come from the restoration of your arm.

Answer 9

Yes, to both questions. The answer may not be the one they expect.
Read,"When God Weeps" - Joni Eareckson Tada. She is a quadraplegic from the age of 17.

Answer 10

2 Cor. 12:9: "And He said unto me, 'My grace is sufficient for thee; for My strength is made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me."

These are the words of Jesus Christ to Paul. Paul had been favored with many wonderful revelations of heavenly things, and tells us that, lest he should be thereby exalted above measure, there was given him a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan, to buffet him. It is useless for us to speculate beyond what is written in respect to this thorn. Suffice it that we know God's design in sending it -- to keep his servant from being exalted unduly, to guard him against self-reliance, and to keep alive in his heart his sense of dependence on God. The thorn being uncomfortable, Paul prays that it may depart from him. Christ had a different plan in mind. He lets it remain, but promises abundant grace to meet the exigency. When Paul comes to understand the plan, he accepts it with joy.

Answer 11

Jesus replaced the amputeed ear of a roman centurion so any other is possible. You will soon see this take place in my ministry so be aware of the future events.
