Yes! I do believe in them. Im not ashamed to admit it. My life has been rife with it. For you to believe, I think you should experience it.
I have prayed for a lot of things in my life. For most times I get what I want, but not always. Which father gives everything his son asks for? What if what the son asks is harmful? Should the father please his son? Surely, the son will be dismayed if his current need is not met. He might even doubt the father's authority. "Why should I trust him?", he asks himself. He then goes into sulking.
What would the father be thinking? Will he be sad? Will he be glad in denying what his son wanted? He just wished his son would understand him. After all he is the dad.
Suppose I ask my father to take away all sufferings from my life. I ask him everything I want. He gives him everything. Where does that leave me? Am I happy cos of the things or cos of he being my father.Which is more important? He or the things?
As I wait for a miracle in my life, I know exactly where I am. I know I wont be ever satisfied or smug. In other words I am exploiting Him. I don't care how He feels. All I do is ask. No love returned back. I wonder when I will learn. Despite answering my prayers, He keeps loving.
I mean what kinda love is this?

Which one of you fathers would give your hungry child a snake if the child asked for a fish? 12 Which one of you would give your child a scorpion if the child asked for an egg? 13 As bad as you are, you still know how to give good gifts to your children. But your heavenly Father is even more ready to give the Holy Spirit to anyone who asks.
Luke 11:11-13
