re: What’s your best story of an answered prayer?

Start keeping a list of answered prayers and your faith will be bulletproof before long.

We have a bunch of stones we write names on of answered prayers, so our kids can remember.
Multiple people where the doctors called in a priest for a last prayer. Our small group was lifting them up in prayer, and a few weeks later they were walking into the church like usual.
My niece with spina bifida is running and playing tee ball and you'd never guess her journey.
My childhood friend had a daughter born at 24 weeks. She spent months in the hospital. Just celebrated her first birthday!

My wife had a 3 year struggle with occipital neuralgia (not much of a prognosis there). Bad medications, constant pain and unable to get pregnant on those pills, she tried weaning herself off and prayed while she laid awake at 2am in excruciating pain. She ran across a doctor that claimed to heal that condition. He happened to live in a city just 4 hours away, and happened to have an opening to treat her the next 3 days (a patient flying in from Canada canceled), and her sister just happened to move about 12 minutes away from that Dr just 6 months before. She quit her meds cold turkey, drove over that afternoon and stayed with her sister 3 days.
Came back with no pain and happy as ever. Food tasted better. I was funny again, according to her, lol.

No less than 20 other stories like that.
God is real. He listens and cares. He doesn't always make life easier, because He's more concerned with our character than our comfort. He's not a genie, but He has a plan and will reveal His love and power of you want to know Him.
Jesus is all you need.
