my answered prayers

           This page contains stories of prayers of mine that have been answered. Many of you would probably be able to just shrug them off because they are not great miracles, like being healed or delivered from drugs, rather they are simple little everyday type prayers. (If you have something you want to add here...you can e-mail it to me) {or if there is a prayer request you have e-mail it to me also...I will add it to the prayer requests at the bottom of this page}


Yesterday (August 11) I went to six flags. On the way I prayed that God would protect me from getting sunburn (because it had only been a couple of days since I had gotten sunburned sitting outside waiting to get in Brownsville). The Lord asked me (when their was a cloud passing over and the sun wasn't shining down real hard) if this was ok wheather. I said yes. And guess what. The day was mostly like that. The Lord did protect me from getting sunburned!! Praise God.


Yesterday (August 11) While at six flags I (and my sisters and dad) were looking for my little sister (who is 8 years old) (for she had been left...or wandered off). I prayed that we would find her soon, before my dad got mad. And just another couple of seconds and then I almost ran right into her (or someone else found her and brought her over to where I was.)!!! Praise God.


This morning (September 1) I was getting ready to get in the shower and I realized once again (I knew about this but had forgotten) that I couldn't find my watch. I had been looking for it for a couple of days. So I prayed and said "God could you please show me where my watch is. You know I'm lost without knowing what time it is". And then I walked over to my desk and picked up a couple of pieces of paper and there it was! I found it within 10 seconds of praying that prayer when I had been looking for it for days!! Praise God.


Today (September 4) I was having some trouble getting connected to the internet. I only had a couple of minutes before I had to get off the computer. (my dad wanted to get on it) I prayed that God would let me get connected within the next 2 tries and guess what...I got connected on the second try!! He got me connected so I could check my mail before my dad took over the computer!!! Praise God.


Today (November 9) I was having trouble getting connected to the internet. I really wanted to get on so that I could chat before my dad took over the computer. I said "in the name of Jesus, get connected!." And guess what, it immediatly connected (like 2 seconds after I said that) He allowed me to get connected!!! Praise God.


Today (November 17, 1997) the Lord told me that my pictures that I had sent off to be scanned would be coming in. I doubted Him saying, "sure, whatever"... But, guess what. When I checked the mail, there they were!! God once again proved me wrong in doubting Him. Praise God.


Today I asked the Lord for his help on a test that I hadn't studied for. (I didn't study cause I knew most everything on the test) I was sitting there for about 10 minutes thinking about how I was going to do this last problem on the test. I bent my head down and prayed "Lord, please help me. I know I should've studied" And I open my eyes and look at the problem and immediatly the way to do it comes to my mind. Praise God.


Today (December 30, 1997) before youth group I was feeling heavy and was praying fervently for something I did not know. The Lord put it upon my heart and I was praying... When the kids arrived, among them was a youth named Mario. I had known him for a little bit and he wasn't someone I expected to see at the youth group. But, I was glad to see him there. At some point in the youth meeting the Lord told me to pray that he would be saved. I prayed "Lord, let him be saved." And after the meeting they (Mario and his friend) came forward to accept Jesus as savior! Praise God.


Well, it's about time I add something to this page!! lol. I'm sorry. There have been a lot of these type of prayers answered, I have just neglected in putting them here. If I remember, I will try to put them here when they happen.


On Monday (Aug 03, 1998) I got my wisdom teeth taken out. Yes, not a fun thing. Anyway, I had a few people praying for me (I had gone into the chat room with a tagline asking for prayer and my parents were also praying for me). I was simply praying that I wouldn't feel too much pain and that I would be able to deal with the pain that I was given. The day of the operation I really wasn't as nervous as I thought, which I'm sure is an answer to someone's prayer. The operation went smoothly (as far as I know.. I was out of it.. lol.. knocked out cold) and was a success without anything bad happening. That was another answer to prayer (as I was nervous after all the stuff they said could happen.. :-) ) As for pain afterwards.. I felt very little. In comparison to what I saw others go through when they had it done and what I was told it would be like, I felt very little pain. The doctor gave me some aspirin 3 (strong pain medicine) but I never took a pill of it because I never felt bad enough for it. Sure, it wasn't fun having to drink shakes and little else, but for the little pain I felt, I think it was worth it. Praise God. I made it through the operation and am almost fully recovered (it's been almost a week now). I still feel a little pain when I smile or chew in the back of my mouth, but otherwise, I'm over it. God has helped me and kept me through it. AMEN....


Today (April 17) I was preparing to have a serious talk with my c-girl. I have recently developed a friendship with a wonderful friend named Melissa. She has helped me a lot and helped me to realize things. Anyway, as I was waiting for Kathryn to come into to chat I prayed that Melissa would get on so I could talk to her and calm down and recieve support. And, amazingly, she got on a few moments later. She came on and she helped me tremendously before and as I talked to Kathryn. (BTW .. the chat ended with me and Kathryn breaking apart and becoming what we were in the beginning.. close friends.) Thank God!!
