I try.
I ask 5 signs 2 of them already been done but not the exactly i ask but related to my request. I ask this signs for some reasons. i believe in signs but i never put all my trust on it because i still believe on your own destiny. For me signs are just a guide or a helper for your own work.
Some of my friends believe in signs, some of them not.

I believe that signs are a guide because if you don't work hard are take the opportunity you will not succeed. It is also a matter of choice.

signs we see are guides, yes but when we are not fully mature with our faith, often signs we see may only be brought about by our own desires, and often when we do not fully take heart and pray for something we wanted in our lives, we can be mislead. always, always pray for God to provide you with wisdom as to how you should go about your decisions. Praying for signs are okay, i guess but we should not allow so-so signs we see in little things make us decide over something that could have a huge effect on our lives.

I agree, sometimes we precieve something as a sign when it really isn't. This leads to dissapointment and much worstthe lack of of faith in God. One must pray to truly find the right path.

Life is like a journey, you can ask for more guiding points, but it's your choice if you follow them. I do belive in signs and use them sometimes, but it's more complicated than this.

I heard about this on the basis sign the person can identify your nature or habits. But still I have no experience and no one tell me on the basis of sign.

I really don't believe in signs because what I believe is that we make our own decisions and signs doesn't have to interfere with it.

Always Pray to God. Do not give your 100% focus to signs, all you have to do now is to increase and make your faith strong. Trust our Lord Jesus Christ. If you need something or if you have too many ideas in your mind, always pray and God will always protect and help you. Trust God.

I definitely believe in signs and I think that they are given to us in odd ways sometimes but I also think that a lot of people ignore or can't tell the signs that happen within their life. You really have to be paying attention to what happens in your life and the outcomes of different decisions and moments of your life to be able to actually gain benefit from the signs. A lot of the time we are meant to go through tough situations or struggles in our lives to learn from them, but I think that there are also subtle signs within our life that if we look back on the leading up to the struggles may have been able to help us if we knew how to deal with them at the time.

I don't believe in signs. Maybe what happened to you were purely coincidence.

I believe in God's will. If it's not according to his plan, then things won't happen no matter what I do. I have asked signs from God through prayers. Some said it's too dangerous to ask for signs because if you are not a true believer, it might come from something evil.

I also do believe in signs, I always ask for it every time I need to make a big decision. It serves as my guide and a reminder that I am on the right track.

Yes I do believe them, but I don't rely on them that much.
I ask for signs from Above if I am confused and really need His answers.
It's a way of entrusting Him, making Him my guide.

Yes i believe in signs especially if its something that I really don't want to do yet I am too convicted in my heart. I usually ask God for a sign and once I am given the sign. I still ask for another until it gets easier for me to do what is needed of me. Sometimes the signs are exact and I get so scared. If I don't get the sign that I asked for then I am comfortable not doing what I was unsure about.

Well this topic is one of the most debated and has also reached the imagination of book writers and film directors. Personally, i believe in signs but i don't put my entire trust in it based on the following reasons.
1. A sign could just be a coincidence.
2. A sign (especially the ones which may occur regularly) cannot be trusted because as i have said, it happens more often.
3. Although I believe that there are some things that people can't control, a sign can be set up, or orchestrated by people.

I have always believed in signs... but the signs we ask of God has to be firm and non negotiable. We do not compromise it by not following what we have actually asked for. If it seemed almost related to the sign we asked of God but is not exactly what we asked for, then i think that the sign you took as an answer is not of god's. Sometimes when we want something too much, we often are clouded and we let the firmness of what we ask Go. We would often then be led astray to believe it was a sign from God but it is in fact only our own image of the sign we think we have received.
This discussion though, i think is very timing or relevant. Just about last week, i asked for God to give me signs as to how i should go about a decision. There is no rush and i was taking my time with this. I thought of really asking God to help me decide and to actually tell me whether i should go for it or just let it go. I asked three signs from him. It was all very simple, if you think about it, but then it may actually be something that is too much for me to ask especially that i know it is rather impossible for other involved persons.
I told God, i have no time line. I am willing to wait for the signs to show - and if they do not show I won't let it bother me and will not ask why, i will take it as what god is trying to tell me and that meant it is a NO.
Then this morning, there goes one sign. And i was dumbfounded. I know it was quite impossible really but i have received one of the signs i have asked God... I know there are still 2 signs i have yet to receive from him... and well i won't be hurt if it did not come. it just shows it probably is not meant to happen. But really asking for signs take patience, understanding and deep faith.
May you be blessed more, and hope you would be able to see or receive the signs you have been waiting for.

Signs are pointers, sometime it wont talk, but explain iteslf. So signs or symbols will give us ideas not even utter a single word or not even a nod from anyone. As long as the meaning is already depited, it symbolises for something, which gives us the idea of something.

I think signs are pretty tricky. I kinda believe in them but not as loosely as others. My Theology teacher told us that most people ask for signs that they know they will see. Like for example, a guy may say that he will ask this girl out if he will see a yellow rose along the school. Seeing a yellow rose is not that uncommon at least to where I live. I think that sign will be more satisfactory if the guy is living in the farm and no where near gardens of flower shops. My teacher said that we should ask for signs of things we know is unlikely that we would see in our daily life because if we are asking signs that's usual then we are just tricking our self. I don't think that false confidence is bad though.

I have never tried asking God for signs as I don't feel comfortable doing that. But I believe in signs that are written in the bible. They are, like you said, serve as guide and eye opener for us. Awareness can make us cope, prepare and protect ourselves from the present and coming situations.

Hi friend, yes, i have little bit faith in signs, but i am not a great believer of astrology or signs, some times our signs tell about our characters very well, really i wonder how is it possible..
