Have you ever prayed so hard that you get a tingly feeling?

Question

I mean like INSIDE, not because your knees are getting numb.

Trevour, that happened to me once too when i was playing "light as a feather, stiff as a board" with some guys from my church!

Answer 1

Please Mommy, take your medication.

Answer 2

I cant say that Ive experienced any "tingling" but I will share one experience with you. At one point in my life, I was terribly hurt by another. My heart was broken, and my world turned upside down. I was so hurt inside that I could barley stand. So I prayed to Jesus about how I should proceed. I can say that I felt the Holy Spirit move inside of me and tell me to forgive. I know to some this may sound like a load, but I know what I felt, and what I heard. It was a strong emotion and unquestionable response. To do the will of God, I was told to forgive. And, I did. I cant say that Ive forgotten, or that the scars of what happened to me dont remain, but I know I heard the Holy Spirit, and I know I felt its presence stronger than I ever have before in my life. To this day I do not regret listening to God, nor can I ever forget or be swayed in my knowledge that I felt the hand of God on my heart that night.

Answer 3

I don't believe in prayer I think it is about as useful as driving in neutral but I do believe the mind is a powerful thing. I truly believe if you concentrate hard enough you can make yourself believe something spiritual has happened. Some believe that the power of the mind can heal illness or kill someone.
A healthy man checks himself into the hospital convinced he is dying. The doctors run every test known and comfort the man that he is perfectly healthy and send him home. He dies 6 days later of natural causes.

Answer 4

Yes.. At times when I pray really hard for something I get a slight tingly feeling around my heart.. I think it may be because when we're praying for other people is when our hearts are used the most..

Answer 5

Yep. I have had many assorted inside feelings. It is sometimes difficult to discern if it is my body, spirit or soul. I think it is partly to do with healing & trusting God in it.

And the heart will have assorted feelings, and I discern that is the Lord getting my attention or answering, any way, one feeling means one thing and another means another thing. If it is a pain, then I must give the pain to the Lord by looking toward what I sense the Lord and the pain discipitates. But to know that I was doing something wrong (stressing over things, not trusting God) for the pain in the first place.

Also, you don't have to pray so hard to get a tingly feeling. You just need to pray to God in spirit & truth. That can be very devoted prayer or praying hard. But getting Gods attention does affect the way we feel physically, spiritually & of the soul.

Answer 6

Nope

Answer 7

That did happen to me once but I think it was because I was taking a bath & my electric radio fell into the tub.

Answer 8

Sometimes when I mediate (different than pray) I get a pulse that goes through my body that causes goosebumps and a euphoric sensation. However I have never meditated about divine being.

Answer 9

one night a prayed so hard i could feel my body actually getting lighter. i swear i was about to float up off my bed!

Answer 10

no i haven't but I wish I would. It would probably make me more devote and since I am an atheist that is saying something.

Answer 11

Yes. I have also been reduced to tears at some point because of the intensity of my feelings while in prayer.
