My mom was 86 years old and been for some months in a hospital. After a stroke she couldn't do almost nothing herself and it was really difficult for her to speak and for us to understand what she says. One day however she said to me "Oh, how I would like to leave here" - meaning forever not from hospital. It was so sad when I saw her suffering, I prayed for God that she'll let my mother die. After a day or two when I went to hospital nurses told me that mother had got a new stroke and couldn't eat or drink anything anymore. And in a couple of weeks she died. I saw it as an aswer to my (and my mother's) prayers. Cannot prove it though.

Most things are not only as they are but also how you look at/take them. You cannot prove God exist, you cannot prove He doesn't. It's a question of faith, as most of the things in religion are, as I see it also the answers to prayers.

I prayed for someone whom I dislike. She (J) had caused me alot of pain through her gossiping. Recently she was talking rather loudly about someone in public, this got back to the subject(victim) who tried to ring J to sort out the problem. J decided she was under attack and changed her phone number. She was becoming very stressed and depressed. Rather than say it serves her right, I decided to put her on my prayer list, asking for her to find some peace. Within a few weeks she had suggested to her husband that they went away for a holiday. Unusually he agreed to her demands, and they left for a break within another two weeks. Apparently they had a very relaxing time. I do hope so.

I don't know whether this counts. I do know God works in mysterious ways, so I can't discount it.

My Friend Cat got up out of her wheelchair and started dancing before God, she's not been back in it since :D

My collarbone was sealed back together after a compound fracture

My mum was healed in 2 seconds of ME which she'd had for 8 years and which had nearly killed her

I was a threatened miscarriage twice, I've come so close to death on numerous occasions, it's a cliche but it truly is a miracle I'm here today

I've seen some incredible stuff in my life, I will never ever be able to question God's existence, ever :D

S'funny as I was just reflecting on this today!
I used to be addicted to alcohol for about 15 years, I would go out and cause chaos, harming myself and others around me I lost jobs, friends, accomodation, self esteem u name it I lost it!:sick: , and most of the time could'nt even recall the stuff I would get up to whilst drunk. Each time I promisied myself I'd would'nt do it again. In 1999 I met an old friend who suggested i asked God for a solution to my problem. I was skeptical but had tried all other methods.:pray: Since becoming aware of God thru prayer and meditation the changes in my life have been unbelivable, a total turn around I no longer go on the drunken benders I used to, and although I still have troubles from time to time in my life(same as everybody else )my life is nowhere near the diaster area it used to be. I now have regular work, friends, I do things like going to the gym I've even stopped smoking! - all with Gods help!
Where I live there is a lot of social problems caused by alcohol & drug abuse going on, and I like to pray for people I know who are affected by these problems in the hope that God will reach them like He has reached me!:bow:

Who has a rock solid undeniable miracle answer to prayer from God - go on share your testimony! (Please no "God made my leg grow longer once!" ) :doh:
Lets rephrase the question! I should have qualified the question with a basic presumption that God does actually exist(!), and that He is able to over-ride all physical and spiritual constraints at will...who can share a testimony to an answered prayer that CANNOT be explained away by time, motion and the normal likelihood of events? Dig deep people and share! ;)
