Has prayer ever actually accomplished anything?

It depends on how you view practicality.

I believe that no prayer ever goes to waste. Every prayer may not be granted in this world, but each prayer is a symbol of belief and it will increase your relationship with God and you will see the result in the Hereafter.

So, is an eternal reward practical? I think so.

On an earthy level, prayer is psychologically beneficial. It serves as a comfort, a cure for loneliness, and it instils hope in the hearts of the panic-stricken.

It seems that your question is geared towards dismissing the overall positive outcomes of prayer, but it does serve a purpose for many people.

Well, it depends upon how you look at it.

Whilst people have been praying, they haven't engaged in other silly futile activity which might actually cause damage or harm. And I suppose some people might have turned to some other opium, such as drink or drugs to comfort themselves.

So you could say that indirectly it might have. Although we cannot be certain.

But has any prayer ever resulted in the intercedence of a supernatural being? No.

Well Yes! Prayer has done so much for me in my life. & Im just 17!

1st: Prayer alone saved my cousin. the doctors told us there was nothing else they could do.. my whole family prayed & over the next few days she woke up. You can say that the medical stuff did this.. but my answer to that is who is the reason we developed the medical advancements. how can you explain the fact that these things that you say just happen can happen?? why cant it be God? well Guess what! it is.

2nd: The Lord has helped my family through sooo many problems.. There was no way we could have survived.

3rd: When my family was so broke we were having to go fishing to get food this lady from our church suddenly started thinking that we needed something so she took a box of food to my grandparents for us. & you can say that someone must have told her but no. My family is to proud to admit when we need help however we had been praying for it. Ask and ye shall recieve (:

of direction there is evidence that prayer accomplishes each and every little thing. in spite of the undeniable fact that it relies upon what faith you belong to. In my faith prayer is enormous-unfold as assembly with GOd aLmighty. And whehter it accolpishes something of direction it does . as quickly as I pray with finished concentration and concentration it supplies me delight. My soul desires this delight . Prayer is the nutrition for the soul. merely as nutrition is mandatory for our physique and so as that we are able to stay. interior an identical way our soul desires nutrition to outlive and try , be healthful. we've 5 prayers in an afternoon . yet another 2 are non-compulsory. yet 5 are obligatory. And whilst the my soul gets the nutrition it desires there is not any longer something greater useful than that for the duration of this finished international. in any different case the soul is almost a prisoner stored in a cellular. the main important evidence is you your self .Like i'm my own witness and evidence. with the aid of fact the point and how that each and every physique prays is diverse and to that end she or he gets diverse point of exhilaration. song , intercourse or the rest can in trouble-free terms supply a million% delight. the the remainder of the delight can in trouble-free terms be performed by employing praying.

Prayer has never done anything that can be verified as prayer being the direct and only cause.

It makes you lean on God and help your relationship with him. It also helps you understand what his will is.

I don't think all Christians understand that he doesn't give you everything you pray because I've read stories of people losing their faith in hard times because "God isn't giving me what I've asked! He must not exist if he would let this happen!".

Nope. Never. Trials have shown that prayer has no effect. No surprise there then!

Praying only works in conjunction with coincidence.

I guess it accomplishes the feeling of doing something without actually doing anything.

Sore knees.
