That might be true if there was a God, but there's no real good evidence to prove that. What you're doing is probably asking for something reasonable, and likely to happen, anyway. That's my guess.
Anyway, I often pray to get lucky with hot chicks, but it never happens. Now, is that God's fault, or mine?

So, what you seem to be saying is, you pray for stuff a lot, and sometimes it comes true.
Doesn't seem to indicate much.
Why not pray for something, as a test of god?

So.. you just come here and say "Hey, my prayers ALL come true, but i really dont wanna give you any examples"?
Currently in another thread, someone talks about his girlfriends terrible death, and how he has lost faith because of it, because god didnt help.
But apperently god isent too busy to keep centipides out of your room, but he sure as hell dont have for time for saving lifes.
Some god huh?

If I tell you what other stuff I have prayed for you will believe me but I dont ask for much, and only the ones recently after I have been in the cathedral they have come true. But I know there will always be people who might try to say Im wrong or say its not true but for some reasons they come true.

I know exactly what you mean. For the past 8 or so months, I've been praying every day and I realised He does not give me what I want, He gives me what I need to become a better person. Pray for something that will strengthen your faith and connection with Him, etc, rather than materialistic things. In the end, you're going to die, all of your posessions will be worthless to you, your soul will ALWAYS be the most precious thing you will have, make sure you don't waste it.
