God answers all my stupid prayers

So i pray to God that i want to learn how to ride a bicycle and the same day, i'm riding one ... I wonder why God will answer such a prayer, i've been trying to learn in months..lol.. Just like when i prayed to God that i wanted to find my missing books(after days of searching), and i heard a voice telling me exactly where it was the next day.. (I wouldn't say it was God's voice.lol.. I''m not sure). And there exactly it was!.. And i remember one day when i was looking for my money and couldn't find it and i prayed to GOD and i heard a voice telling me it was in my sister's right pocket..lol... And exactly there it was!

[Paul87]

I tell you something

I was on a pilgrimage One day my friend (everyone is called brother/sister there) told me he wants to hear a certain song He only heared it once on a pilgrimage in a diffrent group. And in the evening someone from our group sung it!

This occured twice during this pilgrimage

As for me I was talking to another friend that on a pilgrimage you get tomato or noodle soup every day "(...) boy what would I give for a schabowy(...)" Schabowy is a polish variety of pork cutlet In the evening the people who accomodated us in their barn brought us some food including plums and schabowy cutlets >LOL<

Now this is stupid but I learned that there is no such thing as coincidence Only GOD

Well I know I had many stupid prayers too, but as long as the prayers are out of a pure heart and in faith, God is pleased to answer, to show you how to trust in him.

Although sometimes if the prayer is harmful he will not answer it. But we should thank him that he knows better.

Yes, I have also prayed many stupid prayer, maybe not so harsh as stupid, but ignorant. I will say ignorant. LOL.

May Jesus bless you Toby!

Why is God putting your prayers at the top of his list, but he won't take away my aunt's cancer. She goes to church every sunday and prays every night, as do the rest of my family, but nothing seems to work.

Why can God answer all the stupid prayers but ignore the important ones?

HAIR DRESSER: Maybe there is no God.

CHILD: Why?

HAIR DRESSER:If there is, maybe there's no struggle and suffer?

CHILD: (Viewing the window he saw a dirty beggar and long hair)

CHILD: Maybe there is no hair dresser.

HAIR DRESSER: are u blind ? I am!.

CHILDREN: if so, there would be no beggar dirty and long hair?

HAIR DRESSER: but they never come to me!

CHILDREN: If we all please come to know God, there would be no struggle and suffer.

It's all our fault :-(

For as many christians as there are even they still have problems like disease, famine, etc. You're saying if everyone were christians we would have no problems? What about the largly christian African countries that are still living in poverty, still going hungry most days? They may still be happy believing in God, but that doesn't disguise the fact that food is scarce and disease is spreading. Somehow I don't see that as their fault.

yeah... because we listened to the serpent and disobeyed ... i've been asked that question too " why then is there suffering and children dying in the world...?" i've tried to answer that question a couple of times to a couple of people who asked me but that led nowhere because when the heart refuses to acknowledge its own ugliness then it can't comprehend

Those are great stories!(=

I was talking to an Atheist in a chat room (on a different site) once and she said she wanted Chicken and Dumplings for super. I said (knowing she would laugh) I will pray that you will get to eat chicken and dumplings for super. She Laughed and said "Oh, ok... We don't have what we need to make Chicken and Dumplings so good luck" and I did pray. Then we are talking and she says... Jamey, I go yeah? She says "My mom came home from the groceries store" I go and? "She bought some chicken broth, some chicken, some dumplings etc. She said she wants to have chicken and dumplings to night" I just smiled. =D

[Paul87]

I still pray for one thing
In my opinion its stupid but...

I pray to fall in love To have a girlfriend

God didnt answered yet (Or maybe He did and I just cant see)

No prayer is stupid in the eyes of God, that was an unfortunate choice of words in my opinion. God answers all prayers. He sometimes says "Yes", sometimes "Later" and sometimes "No". Because He knows best. We are to pray for His will to be done, not ours, however just our desires may seem.

Amen to that

The funny fact is that we are like little children

Us -Daddy give me that
God -No
Us - Please
God -No Not yet
Us - If you wont give it to me I will stop loving you!

Doesn't this sound familiar ?

I think maybe God answers some of the smaller prayers, so that you begin to pray for bigger things, and so you are more confident to take risks because you know that God is there and he will listen to your prayers, and answer them - but not always in the way you expected. But I do find it amazing that God is so big and powerful, yet he answers my small prayers that realy don't matter. Like once, I went on a christian holiday, and the powerboat which does banana boats, and powered water sports wasn't working. The engine wasn't working and it was going to take weeks to fix, because the guy was waiting for a part. But our teens group decided to pray the night before that it would be fixed, and it worked. It was amazing, because there was no way this boat could have worked, and yet it did.

What about all the people praying for the war in Iraq to end and for all the troops to come home? For not one more of them to have to die for us?

I dont know what to say but the war was started by people and it has to end by them And people have free will so its theirs decision

I tell you that we in our community were praying for a week for our friend to be healed She had cerebral edema and was paralyzed She died this morning. We know it was Gods will to take her from us.

Why would God deliberaltely take someone He knows is loved and would be missed?

You know I did all that stuff without praying to God at all. Weird huh?

I know, God is amazing eh? He continues to stun me with His faithfulness after I've stuffed up so many times, and He still sticks with me and encourages me with all the little things He does in my life Why He does this? I have no idea, but I sure am thankful for it.. I'm just tryin to give Him a lil o the lurve back

Dude.. to tell the truth I have no idea why. I don't believe any of us have an idea why. But it's just best to leave those types of decisions up to God and just trust that whatever happens, happens for a purpose! Blessings there
