Answered prayer

[Anonymous]

I want to relate a personal story about a recently answered prayer. I never thought this specific prayer would be answered. I pray and talk to God everyday, and see prayer as a personal conversation and relationship with God. I always thank Him for His grace and His love and mercy.

I had a very difficult situation that has been unresolved for over 30 years. I had struggled and sought therapy. Therapy helped with accepting the situation and understanding how to cope with the situation, but could not fix the situation. I resolved to move forward and live the best life I could and keep loving God and my fellow man.

My prayer was answered unexpectedly. I met my youngest child for dinner, just a normal meal. We weren’t celebrating anything, we just had a chance to spend time together. My phone gave me an alert and I glanced at the email and there it was. The most unexpected and amazing answered prayer, sitting in my inbox. I felt like I was having an out of body experience. It was the first time I have ever experienced something that to me personally was a miracle.

I don’t know how to explain this as anything other than a miracle. I silently showed my son the email and as he read the words, he began to cry in the restaurant.

I don’t believe every prayer is answered the way we may want it to be, and I don’t expect God to grant our prayers like a customer service agent. But, this experience has transformed my life in many ways. If you are struggling and feel as if God isn’t listening to you or has forgotten you, I truly don’t think He has. Thank you for taking a moment to sit with me here and read this. It means a lot to me.

Love this.

I sometimes hear atheists say that there cannot be a God because there are no longer miracles. That if they saw miracles like the ones Jesus performed, then they would believe.

I think there are miracles happening every day — every hour infact. Unexplainable things are happening everywhere.

🙏 amen. What a blessing thank you for sharing.

You have me wondering what prayer was answered in an email though but God works in ALL ways. ❤️

God answers all prayers. OP waited 30 years to see the result of her prayer.

Thank you for posting this OP.

I don't get it. What was the miracle?

It is not a pie slicing thing.
