Does God Really Answer Our Prayers?

Does God really answer our prayers? Maybe you’ve read all the Bible verses about it. Maybe you’ve had friends preach to you in the most charismatic way that God answers prayers, but then you slip back into "reality" and just don’t see the evidence. John Mynyk has been there too, and his story may be just what you need. At seventeen, Mynyk heard a sermon about "divine appointments"—divinely guided gospel opportunities. Having never successfully shared the gospel with anyone, he prayed for a "divine appointment." He didn’t realize what he had just set in motion that day. His divine appointment would be with someone who wouldn’t even be born for the next eight years. See how odd situations such as a late doctoral dissertation, an improper weather prediction, an abnormal work contract extension, a prophetic dream, and even a little boy’s "call to nature" all orchestrated this divine appointment. If any one of those and other situations were even slightly different, the divine appointment could never have occurred. After reading this story, truly ask yourself if God really does answer our prayers!
