This is one of the most magnanamous proofs of God, answered prayer. I personally have experienced this multiple times. Just ask God to do certain things that I knew were difficult things, and then watch them get done. And I just knew it was him. One time I asked God for a house in Atlanta. One day I was cutting a tree for a customer, who asked me if I wanted a house, and she gave it to me for nothing. A bueatiful home.
Things like this just don't happen, but prayer can do things like that.
And I want to go into that.
Peace.
I too have experienced similiar things sometimes when I pray to God. However, there is the other side of the coin that serves as a counter-effect to my belief in God, and that is the issue of unanswered prayer (which seems to be the more common occurance).
Now, I'm not merely talking about unanswered prayer in the sense that someone didn't get that job that they wanted or that a person's didn't reconcile with an ex-spouse via prayer request; Instead, I am talking about people in concentration camps that prayed to God that they would be spared only to become another victim of genocide, or parents of kidnapped children who prayed to God that he bring thier child home safe and sound, only to find that child mutilated in a dumpster days later. Surely these prayers to God should take precedence in getting answered, over say me having my prayer for a raise answered.
How do you reconcile this with your belief in God? For me when it comes to prayer, it seems that if you throw enough darts blindfolded, one of them is going to eventually hit a target.
