praying
hi, well my freind has been having family problems, and today he told me that he prayed a lot to god, to sort it out and what not, and when he got home, he told me that they were sorting it out, and it was getting better. is this the work of "the allmighty" or just a quencidence, because im not fully persuaded? what do you guys think? thanks

Want to answer more questions in the Miscellaneous category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Spirituality?
i belive that if the guy prayed to God, and actually belived that God would help him get over his family problems, then yes i do. i also belive that God knows what you have need of before praying. so he was already workin on it. hope this helped.
-God bless

Now this is a tough question!!!
It really depends on your own religious views.
I guess you could call me a spiritualist however, I tend to draw from many different religions as ultimately in my mind they all teach the same thing, be a good person, be good to one another and be happy and therefore I have never felt the need to go to church etc to be close to God, he is always around - even when you think that he has left you!
Even people who don't believe in any being "speak" to someone/something in times of trouble.
I would never say that any religion is wrong. Ultimately I believe that whatever the religion people follow, they believe in the same being.
It is my belief that in life you get what you give. For instance, your friend had been praying for his family to work things out, therefore he would have been sending positive energy out relating to his family. I believe that the Universe, God, Allah or whatever name you would like to use sent back this positivity to his family in abundance.
Hope this helped.

God helps those who help themselves.

I think prayers really do work. I'm a Christian so it's my belief that God does answer prayer if you know Jesus as your Savior. Speaking of answering prayers, my family has been praying for my grandfather to start going to church, and I just found out today he is going this week, when he said a year ago he never would. He has cancer and we're not sure when he might be leaving us. I'm really happy about that though, and I don't think it's just coincidence.

It really depends on your own religious views. I myself would see that as God helping his family out because he prayed. But you see, I'm catholic- and I would consider myself very religious.
If you aren't a religious person- you would probably see this as just a coincidence.
co·in·ci·dence /koʊˈɪnsɪdəns/[koh-in-si-duhns]
–noun
1. a striking occurrence of two or more events at one time apparently by mere chance: Our meeting in Venice was pure coincidence.
So really- you have to decide for yourself. Are you religious? If so- you would probably believe that God helped. If you aren't- you would probably consider it a mere coincidence.
Like I said- I think it was God.

I strongly believe in God. & I think that if your friend is a really good person and doesnt need to have family problem like that then I think God had some work in that. Hope I helped<33
