Do you think God answers prayer? Are there any instances in your life that you prayed about and God answered?

Yes, I believe prayer changes us and makes us stronger as believers.

God knows everything. He even knows how many strands of hair you have.
And prayer is a gift from God. We cant pray without the Holy Spirit with us. God always hear and answers our prayer. If it seems that God did not grant your prayer, then probably it is not for you, and God is planning better for you. We cannot understand the ways of God. We just have to trust Him. God knows best and He is gracious even we are not worthy of anything.

That's right, trusting God is probably the most important part of prayer.

Whenever you ask something from God, rest assured that He will answer your prayers. Sometimes, you may not be able to recognize that he has answered you for there are times that the answers came in a different way. There are also times when God grants your prayers more that you have asked. It is because He knows what's best for you.
In my life, God has always been faithful in answering my prayers. Though not all of them are "Yes" but His grace that at the right time I would understand why He gives me a "No" for some of them.

Yes he always answers even if we don't want to hear what his answer is sometimes. We can still trust him for the best answer.

God definitely answers our prayers. THough sometimes it is not the way we expected it to be but it's a lot better than what we ask of him. What he gives us is the best. God is generous in giving. He showed it when he gave the life of His only Son, JEsus Christ to save us from the grips of the devil.
God answers those who doesn't waver in their faith; those who always expects from him; who always trusts in HIm. Because He is God who never fails and He loves us very much!
In times of my weakness and deep need for God, He never failed me. I receive His help. I even receive confirmation of His Word everytime I share Him to other people He manifests His goodness. My heart is gladdened every time I hear people's testimony about His great faithfulness and abundant lovingkindness.

Yes when we pray we should expect an answer from God, whatever that answer may be.

God answers prayers when we pray with love and really believe in God. He answers on his own way, sometimes immediatelly, sometimes after some time passed. His answer sometimes might not be the answer we wished to get, but He always answers on the best way for the prayer, because He knows at any time what we really need.

I believe it is important to let God be God and trust him to answer our prayers in the best possible way. I also believe he cares for us and always responds to our prayers with our best interests in mind.

God does answer prayer, but not always the way we'd like it to be answered.

True. His plan is a lot better than ours. I think God may say yes, no or wait in answer to our requests, but he always answers.

God always answer prayers, even if we don't know how to pray. I don't know how to say beautiful prayers, I don't know if I'm saying the prayer with love or whether I'm in sincere, I just pray to Him and He always listens. I remembered last time I took my mum to her follow-up clinic appointment, when we went home, it started to rain. It was raining very heavily when we were on the way home in a taxi. So I prayed and asked Him to stop the rain because if mum got wet again she would be very sick. When we got off the taxi, the rain was still raining, He didn't stop it, but He sent someone - a stranger, whom I haven't seen before, holding a very large umbrella waiting there for us. So the rain still rained but we hadn't got wet, not even one drop of water had been fallen on us.
He did answer us, in His way.

Yes he always answers and takes care of us, and I believe he hears our heart's cry even if we don't have wonderful words to offer as our prayers. He wants us to come to him and have faith and just talk to him as a Friend.

Yeah, there are times that Jesus answered my prayers or wish. And also there are not. I used to wonder and ask Him why He didn't answered one of my prayers. Now I know! Jesus didn't give what we want but what we NEED. He answered prayers to those came from our deep hearts and if we are sincere. And the important thing is..if we also do the good deeds. Because, what's the point of praying to Him if we do wrong deeds. Now I pray to Jesus of what I need. God is so kind.

Yes, God is very kind and generous. I think sometimes he doesn't give us what we ask for because he knows some things would be bad for us and he is protecting us. God is a loving Heavenly Father and desires to give his children good things.

Yes, he does answer prayers according to his will. Sometimes we may pray for things that may hurt us if granted and the answer to that prayer may be delayed until we are mature enough to handle it.
We are told to pray without ceasing and in due time we will be answered. A good example is if son asks the dad for a car and even though the dad will say no at that time ,he will grant the son the car when he is of age. The answer to prayer is usually no, yes, wait or you are given better than you asked for. Definitely prayers are answered.

That's a good illustration. God is always right on time with the answer to our prayers, and is generous to give us what we need.

100% God answers prayer and grant miracles too..i do believe that this is true according to the bible because God is not a fiction God but a true God in three person mainly; the Father, the son and the Holy spirit, which is called the holy trinity,.I do pray everyday and every night before i go to sleep and it feels secure and comfortable whenever you pray and talk to God as well as to ask for forgiveness everytime i committ a sin. My lord and Saviour Jesus Christ is very true and his second coming is very near to come. I do pray and hope that we need to have Jesus in our hearts because only Jesus saves and without him, we are nothing.

Yes, I believe God wants to be involved in every aspect of our lives and that he delights when we include him and live and pray according to his Word.
