Did you believe in the power of prayer?

Hello. God don't directly answer our prayers. He might not give what you want but still he find ways to answer your prayers. God is wise so sometimes he give us opposite of what we want in able us to learn and understand what he want us to understand. God only give us what we really need in life but often we are too blind to see and appreciate all those things. I've been in your situation and doubted if He really exist and hear our prayers... I start questioning Him and i realized and asked my self "have i listen to Him???" I keep praying but never tried listening to HIM. I guess you should try accepting Him back to your heart.He's really there waiting for us to ask help and to listen to Him. I know He answered your prayers but you haven't notice it. The answers to your questions are already there, you just need to do extra effort to see it. Appreciate life and you'll find the answers.

well if there is a divine power mapping our lives out then we are puppets and whats the point in living, as life is an adventure what I do today will mould my life tomorrow I dont really want to do something today and then somebody else decides what then happens tomorrow doesn't seem right to me. I respect everybodies views and I appreciate life and live life the way I think it should be lived but at the same token I have lost family members in the past and had awful family crisis's so no one has answered any of my prayers and all I get is god works in mysterious ways to me that seems a bit of a cop out if you know where I am coming from so I like to be in control of my own destiny and if I don't succees in life I only have one person to blame me, or if I succeed in life then again its me thats got me there.

You got a very strong self confidence for saying that benny. :-) In a way I agreed with you that the power of our own body and mind can actually control our life regardless whether cautiously or incautiously. But wouldn't it be better if a divine power help you to ease your goals? Perhaps what happen to you in the past might had influence your opinion on that but I respect you for that. At the same time, if we never gave up on our prayers with all the effort, I'm quite sure it might just work. Thanks for sharing Benny. Happy mylotting.

This is the 2nd miracle of prayers experiences in these response which helps the critical illness sufferer healed through prayers...no doubt about that. Nothing is impossible through prayers. Send my regards to your mom myramae. Happy mylotting to you. Thanks for sharing.

thanks yes i will send your regards to my mom...God is really good all the time. he's always our savior.happy mylotting.

Thanks chevee. I like the way you put it... "You can't expect the fruit of God's blessings if you don't recognise the importance of doing your part". That's the 2-way relationship between human and his/her Creator called religion.

Yes Yagambal.. the keyword is effort prior to the prayer. Or it goes parallel. Happy mylottting to you.

Yes as long as you never give up on your prayers, God will always grant it. Only human who forget their promises to pray but God will always grant them too if they changed

Even without prayers, God would still knows what you want. But with sincere request from us through our prayers means we acknowledge His existence to grant us on what we requested

When we put our effort for the best result of everything, we indirectly leave it our fate ie Godwilling that it will come to what we want. Thats the whole idea of prayer in a way for me on top of our special prayers on certain things directly. Thanks for sharing cher. Happy mylotting, and may God bless you. :-)

Glad it work for you jillhill... Never stop praying.

When you believe that God will help us if we prays for that, you will do all the things as good as we can with God-willing in mind.

I do agree with you simonelee that the prayers will only become powerful if its from the heart. Sincerity in your prayers regardless during good or bad times will definitely works, at least for me few times.

Yes, God would never change the life of a person if him/herself did not even try to change it. Meaning we really need to put our very best effort before you leave it to God

Thanks shivamkapila. But a mere prayer without any own effort would not help, that's what I believe. Happy mylotting... lets prays for the best... ;-)

Thanks Genericbe. I really like it when you quote that, 'Do your best and God will handle the rest"... because that is what we need to do in everything. Happy mylotting!
