So you have nothing.

Explain to me why it worked only after I prayed? I have a problem when you disregard that it wasn't God without providing some other explanation. You have just raised an unanswered question.

Having no alternative doesn't mean the one you propose is strengthened. I'm perfectly comfortable saying "I don't know" until I see a good reason for your explanation.

What I mentioned to you is merely a single case. I could go on with the hundreds of moments where nothing was happening until I started to pray.

How about the time when I was in those dark, dreadful days until I decided to pray to the LORD for help? Guess what, he delivered.
Or how about the time when a close friend of mine was suicidal. Things looked very glum indeed. It was through prayer that they were able to make it out of that stage.
How about the time when the Church prayed for a suitable Youth Pastor to take the position? It did take some time but in the end the prayers were answered.

You want more than just my cases? Absolutely, here you go.

How about Cpot's testimony? http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=78631766&f=125&p=531147321
He was in jail and prayed with tears as he had hit rock bottom. The only one who could save him was The LORD. It looks like he delivered again.

Do you want even more? Here is a website that has a list of prayers that were answered. They are not my own.

Sooner or later you have to realize that calling it a 'coincidence' just becomes such a weak argument. It becomes apparent that God is watching over us and truly cares for us.

And I can find thousands of moments where somebody prayed and what they prayed for didn't happen.

Your argument is only convincing if you choose to never put a check in the "didn't work" box.

Hi,

I and my friend Ampoo are praying to the mecca each morning since 2 years now and i can tell you it will be a way better than Jesus stuff; soon much virgins and even young boys (for ampoo), amazing, not to mention the rivers of french wine too !

It's true, it's written in the book, checkmate.

Do you know what all of these examples have in common? When the prayer was answered the glory belonged to God. It made each of us give praise to his name.

Praying to win the lottery is a selfish reason and most likely will not have you bring glory to God. Besides, God knows what is best for us.

Read Matthew 7:7-8.

Is recovering from a heart attack something that brings glory to god?

Wna know what does?You and the people around you enjoying your life to the fullest.

Having a near death experience and survive? You tend to not take life for granted and enjoy your life to the fullest.

Trust me, I know.
