The following is a collection of answered prayers from across this country. As you read these testimonies I pray it would fortify your faith in a God who still answers prayers. Whatever your situation know that God still provides, heals, restores, and answers prayers. Don’t stop praying or believing. Your miracle is motion. Even if it looks like God isn’t moving, the miracle is moving. It might be happening slower than you want, but it going to happen on God’s timetable. One more prayer might be the one to release God’s power over your situation.
We were pastoring in MN. Money was tight, actually it was nonexistent, but our bills were not. We had been praying fervently, but God seemed to be silent. Faith goes forward even when there seems to be no hope in sight. So, I got out my best china, set the table with candles, and scraped together all the change in the house for 2 steaks. When my husband came home, his eyes grew wide with question. “What’s up, hon?” I summoned up a cheerful voice and replied, “Were having a victory dinner!!” We continued with our meal feeling hope grow amongst our fear, thanking Him for answering our prayer. The very next day 2 envelopes from people we hadn’t heard from in ages held just the amount we needed to the penny!! God is so good.

My answered prayer is Elizabeth’s story. It isn’t a conventional story like we asked God for something and we immediately received what we asked for. It is a story of trusting God and him providing in our ongoing situation. When Elizabeth was born I had a hard time bonding, and probably some depression. At four months she was observed to have some delays and thus began our journey with specialist and all eyes on my baby. I brought her to the altar one Sunday to receive healing and from that moment I began to bond with her in a very intense way.
God has also provided in every situation. She was born with metatarsus, crooked feet, and no specialist would see us and now she has normal feet and no braces. It seems at times that she won’t be able to do things, but she always does. Nothing that would seem to be a problem ever is because God had got this! Sometimes it’shard to trust God in the midst of an event, but I have heard Him whisper to me “I’ve got this all under control.” It’s hard to argue with God! God named her. The most significant part of this to me is that she will never accept a compliment like she is cute or something, because she is Elizabeth Joy. She knows her name and the One who named her. She will live out His plan for her. This is our ongoing answered prayer. I hope all are strengthened every day with the knowledge that God pays attention to every detail of our lives. He does answer prayer!
-From a Praying Mama in North Dakota
My husband of 18 years left after I set a necessary boundary. Before I did I prayed to God. He very clearly said, “I will walk with you through this my daughter.” I had been a stay at home mom for 5 years for our adopted children with mental health issues. I suddenly needed a job, benefits, summers off, and a list of other things. I wanted my kids to know they were still my priority. I handed this impossible list to God. Two hours later, I was called for a dream job. Everything lined up and was taken care of from my list within 2 days. I had to sell a car. God did the impossible I wanted to send my youngest to a private school. God did the impossible. I’ve honored God and given him my best. He has been faithful to walk with me every step of the way.

My hope and prayer is that my hearing will supernaturally be healed on this earth. In the meantime I am so very thankful that God helped find a good audiologist that I can trust. I recently needed new hearing aids two years earlier than planned. For anyone that has worn them you know that when you get a new pair it’s like trying to hear all over again for the first time. It takes many trips to get the settings just right. It is a very long process. There is a lot of trial and error in between visits. I have always said I don’t consider this a handicap. Usually the only time I notice is when the batteries go dead. In the trial and error process it can make me feel very isolated in my world. Hearing music that sounds distorted when I know it to be much more pleasant sounding. Or the setting down of a glass from someone across the room that makes me jump. It can be shopping in target and feeling like I am there but not seen. Sometimes its being able to understand my son in the car when the previous aids I was wearing were able to do this. It is so frustrating in those moments. However, when the audiologist and I finally get it right then my life is back to normal. I am thankful to Jesus who helps me through each setback as I learn to hear again with a new set of ears. Thank you Jesus in advance for the blood that heals. By your stripes I am claiming my healing in advance.
-Faith Filled Teacher From Minneapolis, MN
I found myself in an abusive relationship. I am the last person on earth you would expect to fall into this trap. However, I found myself in this scary place. I had been in the abusive relationship for two years when I started to call out to God to rescue me. I was trapped and scared for my life. I would come home every night and light this really tall candle. I would cry and ask God to rescue me. My life was being threatened and I was paralyzed with fear. I wanted out, but couldn’t move or find the words. I would cry myself to sleep night after night. For one year I lit the candle and prayed. My help didn’t come instantly, but I kept praying persistently. One day I woke up and to my surprise God had used someone else to remove this person from my life. I saw my open window and I took it. God worked out all the details by using other people to do what I didn’t have the strength to do. Over time God put the pieces of my life back together. It took time, but my heart and emotions finally healed.
