Last year I prayed to Allah and the answer literally was given to me at the very very last moment! I was facing homelessness and I was very ill... it was not a pretty time in my life.
Vacancy rate was -5% and there was NOTHING for a woman with almost no $$. I was very weak and also terrified but I prayed and kept my fears in line, believing Allah would come through.
My landlady and I were having a "civil discussion" about my inability to pay the rent (after 20 years of ideal tenancy) and just as she said, "Well have you done ANYTHING to seek a home yet?" the phone rang. Here I am a year later living in a lovely apartment at a very affordable rate even for me. By the way, the view is amazing.
A few weeks ago my car, an ancient beater, died, permanently. I prayed to Allah and memorized the bus lists knowing something would come up. I now drive a car that is almost new and am actually proud to be seen getting out of it. I asked no one for help and my brothers got together and purchased it for me because I am our Mother's main care taker and need wheels.
In both instances I did not panic but silently prayed and KNEW things would work out for the best, and in both cases they did. Now these may sound trivial but to me, home and car are important things. Allah does provide.
SO, no, I did not pray to Jesus, and can not say He has ever granted me my needs just for that very reason. But He has helped many of my Christian friends so I do not doubt His abilities.
Faith works miracles at times. The power of positive belief and thought. OH and anyone who knows me knows I am NOT a Holly Golightly or a Pollyanna. I am a dire realist!

I once prayed the wind would die down so I could get a very frasgile piece of art work I had created at school back to my house. And in less than 5 seconds, the 48 km an hour winds that had been sustained for 6 hours died and the wind started up again just as I had entered my house with my artwork.

no more than I have found instant gratification to come in a box or any other instance. Miracles take understanding and awareness. My miracles are where I last left them or wherever they've wandered off to when I was busy with other distractions. Thank God! He's watching them when I can't.

Not an instant miracle but eventually I have had my prayers answered and I understand why my prayer wasn't answered instantly. Maybe at the time I didn't understand but when my prayer is answered I understood the reasoning behind the miracle.

yea... sure.. many times...
^.^ but first, you have to believe that jesus is your only lord and saviour and confess it by saying the sinners prayer.. then you can pray in His great name and miracles will happen..
he hears every ones prayers, but only those who have faith in Him would have their prayers answered. God does not answer selfish prayers tho.. please remember that. ^.^
when He does not answer your prayer, it is when he have something greater planned for u.. be patient!
note that if you are a follower of christ, and you curse someone, so be it, that person would be cursed.
