Prayer Works! Do You Believe In That?

I was very religious since childhood. I used to pray and thank god for everything he blessed me with. Whenever I would face any problem I would surrender myself and my situation to god and he would solve it within no time. This increased my faith in him. I always used to tell everyone that whatever happens in life happens for a good reason. We cannot understand god's mysterious ways, but he has plans for everyone. Since we are his children he will not let us be the sufferers. 10 years back I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, I kept faith in him and believed he will keep me safe. I was 20 years then. In this problem joints pain like anything. I used to cry day and night, but I didn't give up praying. I used to pray that may your plan work in my life. I took various treatments believing it was his will and today I am bed-ridden. In fact I am bed-ridden from past 8 years. Is this what he planned for me? I often question to myself that what good could there be in me being bed-ridden and in pain 24/7? I have seen the power of prayer, but...

I believe that prayer works, it just doesn't always work the way people expect it to. God will answer your prayers but sometimes he says "No." Sometimes He says "Yes".

I was raised as a Catholic by my father ever since I was young though my mother is a Protestant, but that doesn't change the fact that we are still believing in having one almighty God, whichever road we may take we are still heading into one direction and that is God. I always have this habit of bargaining when I am pinch with an event, for instant- I am taking this exam, but at the same time my father is not in his good health. I would pray a hard that what ever the result of the exam, even though I'll fail as long as He will grant my father many more years f good health I don't mind failing that specific exam. And every time I am feeling depressed and down due to events that are out of hand, I just pray hard for things to turn out for the best and for me to learn from those circumstances and to make me a better person.

Yes I do prayers are amazing! I feel that keeping yourself close to God gives you an extra comfort that is different from the couch comfort. Back when I was younger, I would pray for things and I would get them, but not without the hardwork to get it. But if it was something that was out of my power, it was my prayers that saved me . Even once at a concert, my favourite artist called me up on stage because I continuously prayed over and over for him to call me up on stage and it was one of best nights that I have ever had. I even got a kiss on the cheek and he called me pretty! It was amazing. So a prayer , I believe, works like a charm but you must give your whole heart and concentration whilst praying, you will feel very humbled by the blessings you receive from praying. That is the best part.

Prayer deffniately works! My little brother has hydrocephalus cerebal palsy and adhd and Prayer has worked tremendously for my family? The doctors said that there was a real good percent that he would never hear, talk, walk and he does all of that and more.
