Answers to prayers
I would like to say that I balieve if you are praying for the right kind of things and are patient with God you will get an answer. Also remember that God is on a different time scehdule than us, He's not in a rush like we are. He does everything in His own time. If He doesn't seem to answer you it might be because there is either sin in your life or what you have prayed for is not meant to be. If you completley trust God, you'll know He has a plan and a reason for everything. You are never alone with Jesus. Try using scriptures after you pray for whatever it is you seek, and ask God to guide you to the right scriptures. Now that's exciting for me, because that relaly built my fatih whenever I done this. It still works.

When Dreams Come True
As I reflect over my life, I've noticed that when I am seeking guidance about a life change, (e.g., job change, relationship, or move to another location), God is definitely listening.
It seems when all of the pieces fall in place easily, God wants me to go in that direction. When I pray, plead, beg in prayer, and nothing happens, I need to reexamine what I'm doing.
For example, after taking some time off to figure out another job direction, I just got an excellent position without really trying. I don't like the job but I can do it well and it comes with excellent pay and benefits. And all this during a rough economy and tough job competition. I think God is telling me to be patient for another type of job role, and to listen to what He has for me to do during this time.
I've noticed this many times but it's taken me so many years to listen to Him.
Anyone have similar experiences?

"A DELAY IS NOT A DENIAL"
From my personal experience alot of times God provides us with the answer to our prayers. The problem is that it's not what wew ant to hear. We have to remind ourselves that God sees the big picture and his will is perfect for us, but we tend to forget that Jesus, a perfect man, suffered. Our deliverance comes with a price. The enemy wants to devour us and we have to be steadfast in the Lord, and yes that means in the word (the bible). If you want the answer to your questions read scripture and allow God to move on "HIS" time, NOT YOURS. It isn't that he isn't listen its just apart of the process you have to endure before you receive the overflow!!! May God bless you all and remember that "THOSE WHO WAIT PATIENTLY ON THE LORD WILL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH THEY WILL RUN AND NOT GET WEARY AND THEY WILL WALK AND NOT FAINT." Read the word because it is wisdom and it will provide you with good judgement and peace.

INFERTILITY AND PRAYER
I am new to this site, but I neede to talk to people who may have bee in my shoes and can offer me some comfort.
I really want to bear child(ren), The doctors say I am fine but I have been trying for years now, and I am afraid it will never happen. I can't afford fertility treatment, but me and my husband can afford to love, nurture, and give a child the neccesities of life. What I want to know is has anyone walked this line before and ended up having a child by just praying and being patient, or did you dicover that it was not meant for you to have children.
I pray that I can, because it is a very touchy subject for me, and often feel a little jealousy when I see a pregnant woman, or a woman with children, or hear about mothers who neglect their children, or these teenagers getting pregnant without even trying. I feel hurt when I hear women share their pregnancy and labor stories, or when people keep asking me when are you going to start to have children, I mean it's an ache in my heart that hurt's so bad, and I have to fight back tears. I can't deal with that hurt for the rest of my life, I try but then something pops up dealing with children, they are all around me. I just found out my brother is about to have a baby and make my mother a grandmother for the first time, although I am happy for him, but even I am a little hurt by it. I don't want to feel this way, but I can't help it. How did you deal with this?

a vision
My life is a mess. My husband of 23 years has decided to divorce me, the job I love I had to abandon, I went to work for a local casino which I hated. I became very ill with pneumonia and was hospitalized for four days.
While in the hospital, while sleeping one night, I had a dream. I was in total darkness. And then there was a beautiful warm light. Jesus and Mary appeared and I was drawn to them. I suddenly felt that things would be OK. the next day, my pastor came to see me. I began to cry and told my pastor about the dream and asked that she not think I was crazy.
When I was released from the hospital, the casino fired me. So, I started up my cleaning biz again, not sure if I would be OK. The money I bring in is insufficient to pay the bills.
While cleaning for one of my clients, I notice a picture. Good thing I was near a chair when I saw it. It was a picture of Mary and Jesus in a golden light, just as they had appeared in my dream. I now know that going back to the cleaning biz was the right thing to do.
You may never get a sign like I did, but the signs are there, you just have to be open to them and never loose faith.
things work out for those who wait and pray. Just be patient. God has not forgotten you, nor will he. Live in the way and light of the lord.
Dreams can come true.

Does God hear us when we pray???
Hi, Im' CarolM1958. I hear this question so many times, and what a lot of people who feel as if God isn't answering their prayers do not realize that first of all... sometimes we have to accept the answer being "no" to what we might want from God.
Secondly... When God does not appear to be giving someone what they are requesting, they must trust that God knows what is best for them, and as the Bible teaches us, we must praise Him in all things in life.
1 st. Thessalonians 5:18 In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concering you.
God does want us to be happy in life. But He does not want us to have things that may not be good for us even though we want them. We are always to ask for things "be it His will" and we shall get them according to His will.
God bless you
carol

It is a Bumpy rode
It is my first time posting and I had been out of the prayer group for a while. Our only computer was shipped to be fixed and I got it back but then other things came my way. I have been feeling sick, my stomach pains come and go, over the weekend I started coughing and I just felt weird. Last night, I found myself in the urgent care and then realized that my blood pressure was 194/118. I prayed. The doctor came in and he told me he had to call an ambulance to haul me to the emergency room. I declined. He asked if I would sign the waiver, I said yes. I could not afford to go and besides, with my experience in February while I was in the mergency room, the other patient on the next bed said they had been there for awhile. They said they would only cater to the people with insurance fast. The admissions clerk came to get more information from me, so I asked her if it was true. She smiled and said it wasn't. But it was. I was still released even if the doctor was told that my blood pressure was 160/106. I don't know but I do believe in my heart, that God will help me.
He has helped me alot. It seems that the prayer of thanks that I have sent did not post but I did. I am going through alot and I remain at peace and calmer than I thought because deep in my heart, God will provide and at the same time, Jesus heals. He knows our needs are, I do not have a job yet, the people who owes me money seemed to have forgotten us when I know they are in abundance. The same money that I did not have but I lent it anyway because they needed it more than we did at that time. But how could they possibly not have the heart to pay me back.
My children, they used to have been really good kids. They still are but they are acting as if they know everything. I have not problem with them only that, they are showing some attitudes. It hurts me because I was not that way to my parents when they were still alive. But it is the new generation, TV and peer influence. But God, please help me see past this. I know it is just in passing -- they are teenagers but as much as I do not like them to compare to who I am, it hurts deep inside.
Lastly, please heal me. I could not afford to be sick. I have to find that job, I need to provide for the kids. I need to help my brothers and sisters and my kids. I know I have sinned and for those I seek forgiveness.
"The Lord is my Shepherd and I shall not want".

to the one who says there is no God
To the one who says there is no God, and no hell, what if you're wrong?, what will that mean for you? You are very angry, from your letter, i can see that in your heart, you know there is God. But something happened that made you angry with him, something you don't understand. Yes, bad things happen. When a church youth pastor kicked me and my friend out of the choir for hearing that we had drank a beer, I quit going to church, when I had a son born with a major disability and had been so careful to eat healthy,m etc, I was angry with God. But now, i realize everything is for a reason. To make us learn and grow. There is no amount of words that I can tell someone who is angry, that God is real, that Jesus is real. God has to open your eyes. And, if you really seek him, he will. God loves you so much, that he sent Jesus to die for YOU. so that you can have the choice to choose life or to choose death and seperation from him eternally. YOU should read each page before you throw it away. Beacause when you get to Daniel, or to Revelation, you will see that we are now living in that time, a one world bank, a one world system, a chip in your hand to id you, that;s all there. Jeus' birth was foretold 4000 years before his birth in Isiah, have you tore that out yet? Every prophacy that has been fortold has come true. and is still unfolding now before our very eyes. OUR GOD is ALIVE. HE IS NOT SITTING UNDER A TREE, nor is he in a grave, but eageraly waiting to return to take us home, but he is delaying his coming, because he doesn't want anyone to perish, so he is giving more time to those, until eveyone hears his word. Your bible, that you are tearing off a page a day says that "EVERY knee will bow, and EVERY tongue confess that JESUS CHRIST is LORD" That word, was EVERY, not some, not few, but EVERY. as in EVERYONE. May God bless you abundently, and may he fill your heart with love, I am praying this for you.
Liz
