Does God answer prayers?

Christians do pray. And prayers do get answered.

My wife is having surgery on August 13, 2003 to remove a cyst. She was operated on June 2 but they couldn't remove it due to its size. Through prayer, the cyst has shrunk and can now be removed. The doctor said he wouldn't be able to tell if it was cancer until the cyst is in a bucket in the operating room. Trusting that God will continue to work miracles, your prayers are appreciated. - Rev Richard Lanoue, 07/24/2003 20:53:13

I offer my earnest prayers for your wife in her time of sickness, May God Bless her and restore her as David wrote in Psalm 41. - Robert Warner, 07/26/2003 07:48:44

You are asking for God to solve all your problems. Don't you know that God is not a vending machine? Have you completely surrendered your life to God and made Jesus Christ you Lord as well asyour Savior? Once you do, you'll find your life filled with unspeakable joy. The Bible tells us, "My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus" (Phil. 4:19). God bless - Pastor Paul, 07/08/2003 19:02:47

The sister is asking for prayer, as we are told to do in His Word. Do not scold someone for taking their problems to Christ, but join them in their prayers. - Brother Dave, 07/24/2003 03:14:55

My husband's back was injured at work and he ended up needing surgery to fuse his, thankfully only at one spot. He returned to work only to end up being reinjured 3 weeks later. I know that GOD will bring good out of all of this. My husband through this has finally accepted GOD's call on his life and he has received his ordination. I need prayers of encouragement. Our finances have been ruined. - Pastor Marla Keebler, 07/03/2003 13:23:22

Scott...Keep your faith firmly rooted in our Lord. Look for scriptures that deal with your situation and pray using those scriptures. Praying the Word of God is very powerful. Heavenly Father, hear the cry of this father for his children and bring them home to their beds and grant him favor financially. Thank you in Jesus name, anem. - Pastor Marla, 07/01/2003 15:14:51

If your ex-boyfriend and you are meant by God to be, just trust God to work things out. A hard thing to do sometimes. Walk closely with the Lord, He loves you. - Pastor Marla, 07/01/2003 15:25:59

George...God knows what you need the most in a wife and He will at His right time bring her into your life. Right now you need to draw close to God and firmly establish who you are as a minister in Christ. I feel That God has very special plans for you and a special call on you and you need to seek Him for the direction of the call on you and wait on Him for your wife. - Pastor Marla, 07/01/2003 15:37:17

I wanted to thank those of you who have prayed for my wife "DEBBIE". She is starting to read the Bible at bed time with our daughter. She is also starting to use parts from the Bible to teach our daughters moral lessons. I thank our Lord Jesus Christ for this sudden transformation and ask that you continue to keep her in your prayers. - Rev. Dean, 05/07/2003 23:34:12

I am part of the worship team of a local church. Some of us are also starting a new evangelical band called "Crimson White" based in Woodland, Washington (30 miles north of downtown Portland, Oregon.) This has long been a region of considerable spiritual darkness and apathy. Please agree with us in prayer against the apathy and that the eyes of their hearts will be opened to Jesus. - Mark Elliott (aka The Bass Player), 05/02/2003 23:38:54

Lord we ask that you will anoint this band with your Holy Spirit and that many hearts and lives will come to Jesus as they minister in your power. Many the light of your Gospel shine bright in a dark community. May Jesus be lifted up and many will be drawn to His Light. We pray for boldness for this band who share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Amen. - Rev. David B. <><, 05/04/2003 19:53:51

I am praying I get a new job that is not as physically demanding as the one I have now, that causes me so much pain (I am partially disabled). I have been waiting a long time for news on one position, and am praying for it or one like it. - wayne, 04/28/2003 02:23:58

Please God, if he loves me then bring him back to me. If he doesn't then just let me see the truth. Either way please bring him to speak to me honestly face to face. And grant him salvation in his life so he will turn from the harmful way he is living. Bring him away from his addictions and protect him. - desperate, 04/27/2003 04:55:51

Your situation may well be similar to my own, and I will sure pray for you and ask that both of you be led to see the truth so that you may make choices with the Lord's help based on facts and truth, not fears or illusions. God bless you, I think I know how it is all too well. May God work miracles in your life. - J. Esposito, 05/31/2003 20:02:29

Please pray for my wife Debbie as she continues in her search for Jesus' grace. She started out believing in her own brand of religion: "SCIENCE". As I try to witness to her, she wants me to read the Bible more and more to her so I know that she's searching. She just needs an extra little push from the Holy Spirit. Please pray for her. - Rev. Dean, 04/25/2003 23:46:02

Lately my household has been plagued with negativity. In late 2001, I lost an internship. In early 2002, my sister lost a promotion.

Please pray for us. Thx. Dawn Mullan - Dawn, 03/03/2003 15:46:20 [Reply]

My husband and I are doing our very best to do God's will. Our desire is to do his work and to let him work HIS plan for our lives.

Please pray the Lord will provide a new and better job and bills get paid. YSIC - Rev. Christina, 02/18/2003 15:06:11
