One of those moments you actually speak to God, and hope your prayers are listened.

Coincidence!

2007-05-22 16:48:15 · answer #1 · answered by samhillesq 5 · 1 8

Yes several times actually and it is not about how hard but rather how sincere and with what motive. I once prayed for my younger sister while she was on her honeymoon in Bermuda. She was staying about 100yrds from the beach and a category 5 hurricane was closing in fast. The ocean was actually slamming into the bottom of their hotel when I finally reached her on a phone. Fearing for her death (she was completely stranded) I first prayed that God would redirect the storm, but while I was praying I strongly sensed that God was really there with me listening. Taken back a bit I thought about what was really the most important thing that I could ask him for. Instead of asking him to spare her life I loved my sister so much that I rather asked for her spiritual salvation. Right then I knew that God was pleased with that prayer because I asked not out of selfessness but out of love. I later found out that at that exact moment the entire hurricane completely turned at a right angle, away from the island.

Two examples for you.

My husband has survived a surgery and is the only known person not to have certain side effects and it is medically documented. The doctor cannot explain why his situation is different. Before his surgery, he spent two days pouring over internet websites to find out info and a good doctor for the surgery (it was an acoustic neuroma and the tumor was life threatening). At church, the pastor was praying for him and I noticed the clock on the wall, and when I got home from church, my husband told me he had found a surgeon. Amazingly, the entry on the internet was found at the same time as the pastor was praying for him.

A few years later, I had surgery and was recuperating just after getting out of the hospital and could not do anything at home. One of the elderly couples, in their late 80s came over and brought food for me, right after a big snowstorm. They could not shovel my sidewalk, etc. They prayed for me, and within 30 minutes after they left, I had different people come over out of the blue and offer assistance on those issues, including one person that shoveled the sidewalk.

Coincidence or God?

I prayed when my daughter, at 48 hours old, stopped breathing and was near death. She was brought back to life and remained in the neonatal unit for 8 weeks. She had 48 seizures over a period of 4 hours and was placed on anti seizure medication to stop brain damage.
It was touch and go with her, but she pulled Thur.
On the fouth day my care pastor visited my daughter in hospital, he is an awesome mighty man of God and when he prays the room shacks. My daughters face was nearly completely covered with tubes, bandages etc so you couldn't see her beautiful face. While my pastor prayed and asked Jesus to visit her she smiled from ear to ear. Now she was put into an induced coma so her brain could have a rest so she was out to it, but she smiled when Jesus visited her. I new then and there she would be ok and our prayer was answered by God.
Just after that my daughters doctor came to tell me her prognosis and warned me there was a high probability of her being a bean bag baby for the rest of her life, she could be very brain damaged after all the seizures she had. But, she recovered fully, she has no brain damage, she has had every scan and brain test available and all have come back normal!. She is now 19months old and a normal healthy little girl. God has answered so many of my prayers and they have been answered!!

Valcus43 is right, God always answers prayers and he is not always going to give you what you asked for, he is going to see if you deserve it or not. Prayers are answered everyday and asked by many who seem to be hungry for answers to their prayers. I think that God is great and he is always going to give us what is right for us even though it may be the most awful thing in the world. We need trials in order to grow, without trials we would not remember God, I mean think about it when someone is trying to kill another person what is the first thing they say? It is God help me, that is the only time when we remember him and that is sad. Sometimes people pray for their trials to go away and that is not good, because you are telling him to go away, in a more explicit way. If we really want God to answer our prayers that have come out of our heart we have to follow his commandments and not revoke him.

Usually I don't have to pray really hard, because I know G-d hears me and whatever happens is up to Him, because as I told Him a long time ago... I gave Him my will. I think when a person just focuses on giving love to G-d and recieving G-d's love, and living worshipfully, there's just more interaction going on between a person and G-d. I'm alive today because of G-d. I prayed prayers of healing and prayers of protection for myself and I have been healed and have been protected supernaturally. I don't want to go into it, because it may be too much to believe and they're really long stories, but basically I was healed of many things and protected from dangerous situations.

Sounds like you have this prayer stuff confused. My prayers don't come true. Wishes may come true. Prayers are answers by God. I don't pray to God to just ask Him for things. Most of my prayers are for thanks. For honor, for thanks for creating me, for letting me wake up that day, for each of my breathes. I do pray for world peace, for my son to have a good day in school, for protection for our soliders. I pray throughout the day for all the soul in purgatory.

I never 'hope' my prayers are listened to. I know God listens to them. I pray for discernment. If people don't understand prayer life and how it works, why it's necessary and how God answers them then they aren't very religious and faithful. And vice versa.

When prayers are answered, it is Satan messing with you. You can't tell the difference between the actions of the second most powerful force in the universe and the first, can you?

For the people that said yes, an example would have been nice, but i understand why you wouldn't want to look dumb. If God healed your wife, why doesn't he perform other magical healing acts? Can he only answer the prayers whose results would be interpreted as scientific by non-believers?

Yes. More than once. One was the salvation of my dad before he died. I'd been praying fervently for him for ten years. That was one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life, to have prayed for so long and see God work a miracle in my father's heart.

God hears all prayers and answers all prayers. Sometimes the answer is yes, sometimes no and sometimes wait. And yes God has answered everyone of my prayers
