What blessings or miracles has God given you?

Question

As Christians, I believe our job is not to defend God or the Bible but to encourage one another and tell of Gods wonderous works. So please share. Thanks

Answer 1

Tons and tons of blessings. I have a wonderful wife. We've been happily married for over 34 years. We have two wonderful sons who have their own families, two children each. We all love each other and get along well together. Our grandchildren are terrific and lots of fun. We have a few fabulous close friends and lots of acquaintances.

My wife and I both have a strong mature faith in God and have experienced many growth opportunities over our life. We have never lacked, God has always provided for us in every way. Though we have had many hardships, God has always used them to help us become closer to him and has always been with us. Though my wife has had lots of illnesses, has lived with a lot of pain and suffering, God has blessed her with many miraculous healings as well.

There are just too many blessings to enumerate. I could keep writing for an hour, so I am just going to leave it at that. I came from a background where I did not feel loved, had no faith, had a bitter life, full of self doubt and loneliness, no understanding of God, and he has moved in my life in so many ways. It's been astounding. All glory to God.

Answer 2

I believe in the two great commandments to love God, and others as ourselves, and how we live our lives should reflect these teachings. Being a good example is sometimes just as effective as words, but I believe both are necessary in sharing our Christian faith. What miracles has God given me? The list is too long to put in this small space.
Blessings to you.

Answer 3

WOW ! What a wonderful question.For some reason the question seems to overwhelming at the moment I've had so many great gifts from God that I wouldn't even know where to begin.I think I'm just to tired to organize my thoughts right now. But I have loved seeing all the great responses.It gave me many opportunities to pray for people.Thank you.

Answer 4

Well I'm Hindu. But I have different belief systems mixed in with me, and yes I only believe in one God, and he is the only higher power to me.
I'm thankful that God gave me a beautiful voice for me to share music with the world. I've recently been diagnosed with Epilepsy, and I'm thankful that God gave me doctors and parents (who are also doctors!) to help me and get through this, and that He gave me friends, family and teachers who are just as supporitve. I'm thankful that God gave me a happy, safe home and two loving parents, even though He did have to take in the life of my 1st father, when I was 3.
God bless all!

Answer 5

Oh so many.

My dad was one of the first babies to ever survive spinal meningitis. Everybody thought he would die but my great aunt came over and lead everyone in prayer for him. Yet this family was NOT Christian. I've often wondered if this is why my dad seemed to know God was real even while he was growing up and had no one to direct his faith.

When I was young, my mom tried to surprise us with a trip to the waterpark. But there was a misunderstanding and our ride didn't show up, and my mom didn't feel comfortable driving that far since she hadn't had her license long. So my younger sister and I started balling and praying. she burried her head in our couch, and I burried mine in the chair accross the room. Suddenly the phone rang and I immediatly stopped crying because I knew with absolute certainty that that call was the answer to my prayer. My sister had done exactly the same. Sure enough it was someone that offered to take us.

The same certainty and peace hit my mom while praying for a one of our friends from ballet class that had vanished on a hiking trip. The next day she was found safe and was the top story on the news.

My parents prayed for children for like 9 years. During that time they remained barren but most everything else they asked for was given to them. Eventually they had three girls. My mom prayed for a son for a while but none showed up. Then when the youngest girl was five, my mom was admiring a little boy at church and asked God "Where's mine?" A week later she found out she was pregnant with my brother who by coincidence ended up with the same name as that little boy.

Once when my mom was walking her three little girls the mile or so to the bus she discovered that she really needed a diper for the baby. She asked God for one and when we got to the bus stop there was one sitting on the bench, clean and dry.

My older sister has had prophetic dreams and visions but is rather private about who some of them are shared with. She was also given the gift of tongues as an immediate response to a prayer.

One day at church we were asked to pray for a lady with inoperable cancer. Before the service was over we got word that they had decided it was operable. Later we heard that her tumor had shrunk so much she didn't have to be operated on.

My dad had some very funny and complex miracles that would be too long and difficult to explain here.

Of course there are also the everyday ones like so many times that the weather has been perfect, or at least way better than predicted when I prayed for nice weather. My mom said she never saw me not get it when I prayed for it when I was little.

In 2000-2001 I made a friend that is an Egyptian born Christian. He drew my attention to a couple of the horrors going on in the world I haddn't been familiar with. One of these was the extreme oppression in Afghanistan that had even lead to a high suicide rate among them. Seperately my Bible study group started praying for them. Within just a couple years they were freed following the Taliban's decision to harbor Bin Laden.

Then there are the miracles that you think are probably God but you can't be certain. I prayed fervantly for a president that would protect the unborn and we got this nail-bitting presidential election that eventually gave us Prez. Bush who has even done his best to protect the embryonic ones. Several years later, and I renewed my prayers for the unborn. I had also become aware that it was the courts that held the power. Within two weeks there were two new positions open on the supreme court. A few years back my car got pushed off the right side of the road. I tried to hold it steady but I was stuck on the edge of the pavement and fishtailing badly. Trying to get free of the edge I jerked the steering wheel a hard left only to find myself driving perpendicular to the lanes and straight for the otherside of the freeway. Sure we were all about to die I just kept calling out "Oh God, Oh God" (A phrase I've never used at any other time by the way). Trying to correct my direction i turned a hard right but was afraid we were going to be in a head-on collisian with the other side of the freeway. That is when the barrier wires caught my car and just pulled it to rubbery stop. My car was totaled but nobody suffered more than minor injuries. When the policeman came he asked me how I'd gotten the wire to wrap entirely around my car. I couldn't think of an answer beyond "An angel must have put it there." This area of the freeway was soon part of a public issue because the wires in this area were not doing their job of catching cars in accidents just like mine.

Other prayers have healed septic tanks and transmissionsor turned loved ones into Christians. Friends and family have had steering wheels avoid accidents on their own, cars drive on nothing, and turnnedon the radio to get an immediate answer to their theologic question.

Answer 7

I don't see that my natural gifts are from a god but I count my blessings regardless as fortunate attributes of nature. If you think telling is a wondrous act try accomplishing a real wondrous act in real time .Help end the war Between the Christian Devils and the Muslim Terrorists!
you can humbly pass thanks to a god if you want but you will share in the peaceful life on this earth with the rest of humanity as a real reward .

Answer 10

I was involved in a terrible accident 18months ago. My son who was 1 at the time, stopped breathing. Most of the people thought God had taken him home.... he did not. My little boy suffered a brain injury and is currently brain damaged. At the time of the accident, he lost his sight. The doctors never expected my little boy to see again. God had different plans. MY SON CAN SEE!!!!!!! Glory to God in the highest. If all of you can remember, please keep my little boy in prayer. His name is Christian and he still has a long way to go!! Thanks!!
