Miracles that you’ve seen or happened to you

Thanks ImissThe90s...


For the record I do get some of what you are saying about why some people get miracles or prayers answered and others don't. For years I struggled with it. Last year something devastating happened to my family and I felt why wasn't God watching over the ones I loved. It was a very complicated situation and I still don't have all the answers but I feel like sometimes things aren't clear at the time but you gain a different perspective as time goes by.


And just speaking for me, I don't feel like I'm special because I have good things happen to me. I have really worked hard at having a closer relationship with God and when you're closer to him you see things in a totally different way.


Something I've done lately is asking God for a great day in the morning. I don't it too often but when I do I'm completely amazed at what happens that day. My friends have tried it to with some incredible stories. Do I think that makes me special? No, I just feel closer to God.


Hope that helps a little...

I hear you, and don't think we are too far apart, to be completely honest. If you are actually thinking "Why?", then you really aren't in the camp that I am talking about, so I maybe spoke too soon.

I am coming from somewhere where I REALLY needed (still do if we are being completely honest) a miracle, and have never gotten one. Maybe that makes me bitter, or biased. I am adult enough to be able to admit that. I am not asking for someone else to be saved, or to find my car keys, or to make more money. I'm not asking for frivolous things or things not needed. I wasn't even asking to be completely cured of my PTSD and seizures, or anything like that. I was asking for just enough to be able to work a normal job and provide for my family. Alas, it didn't work out that way. Now I am stuck working from home, arguing on City-Data during my work breaks and slow periods, and driving my hubs crazy .

I think something everyone of every worldview has experienced is being in a place where we hoped for a miracle.

Now I mostly focus on the small, everyday type.

That is the very secret of happiness in this go-by. I learned it from Down folks. Learn to treasure the little things. Because they abound.
