To save my soul. I was at a point in my life where everything was falling apart. My job was a mess, my friends all turned their backs on me and I was contemplating getting a divorce. I was so depressed I was crying all of the time and I didn't know what to do. I talked to some people but none of them understood. I talked to a minister and to a councilor but neither of them understood. And then I realized that there wasn't a single person in the entire world who could or would ever understand and that I was all alone. I realized that God was my only hope. So, I started watching every religious program I could and I started reading every religious book I could. And then one day, I heard a preacher talking about getting saved and being born again and that we don't get to heaven by our works, by being good and obeying the 10 commands but it is by faith in Jesus Christ that we are saved. And then a saw a different preacher who's lesson was the same as the first preacher. And he told how I could accept Jesus Christ as my personal savior and how I could have a intimate relationship with Him. He said that I didn't need to go to a church or anything and that I could do it right there in my own living room. And so I prayed and I told God how sorry I was for all of my sins and I asked him to save my soul and come into my heart and stay with me forever. I asked him to make His will my will, my mind his mind, my eyes his eyes, my hands his hands, my voice his voice. I gave my life to him and have never regretted it for one second. God is so GOOD!!

With so many money grabbing ministers out there especially TV evangelists trying to sell their books and the rise of many other occultic styled ministries I prayed God for the gift of discernment because I just didn't want to be tricked into believing someone elses interpretation of what cionstitutes Faith in God when it clearly goes against what Jesus actually demonstrated. Today I am a preterist in my view of Christianity and have learned how to engage the culture in realistic debate over the existence of God through presuppositional apologetics and no longer have to answer questions about controversial theism that goes against what a no-nonsense approach to biblical interpretation has afforded me and find myself less confronted with spiritual issues that so many Christians are at a loss as to how to address.
I can think of not much more noble to ask for from the Lord than that we ask not to be fooled by charletons and see truth when it rests before us.

The night he saved me from my sins.
Second would be when I was throwing up blood all day (never told anyone) until I passed out from loss of blood. My wife heard me hit the floor but could not move me. About that time our son and a weight lifting friend of mine came in the house. They carried me to the Blazer and my wife took me to the ER. They took me before everyone there. Turns out I had a tear between my stomach and esophagus. One of the most amazing parts is that I did not fall asleep while I drove 200 miles that day.

The best prayer Jesus answered for me was when I asked Him to save my soul.

Probably will get jumped by lots of people for saying this, but here it goes:
My gf is from the USA, and i live in the UK, we met online through an art website, out of thousands of artists there she somehow found my page and loved my art so she added me to her MSN. We started chatting and clicked straight away. She came to visit me a few times, but 2 years into the relationship the distance have started to take it's toll, we started arguing more and more and it ended up in a break up. At that point i was sure that i will never see her again, we even stopped talking online or on the phone. I cried every single night for about month, even in my classes at college, and prayed and prayed for God to bring us back together. Then one day she wrote me an e-mail and we started chatting again. A few months after that she started dating someone else, i was devistated. I went through a few short lived relationships myself, but none of them felt right. At that point i still prayed every day asking God to bring us back together. Then one day she rang me and told me that she bought a ticket to London and that she'll be there in a week, and that she really wants to see me. A week later she came and that was the first time i saw her for over a year and since our break up. Her ticket was only for a few days, but after spending those few days together neither of us wanted to be apart again, so she stayed, now she works here and i go to university and we've been happily living together for over a year :) I know this may not sound like much, but for about a year i thought there was absolutely no hope of us ever seeing each other again, and all i had was my prayers, so to me they were answered.

I asked Jesus if he rocked, and he said yes. I guess that's not really a prayer.
