what is god to you? and what prayers has he answered for you? Which was the most significant?

For me he is kindof a presence i dont understand but it makes me warm inside and fell calm and more determined about what im trying to do. God has answered a few prayers for me but none that ill talk of for now.

Also Id like to take this moment to mourn the late Pope John Paul II and hope that the new holy father Benidict XVI will have just as good a rein as john paul had. (Cardinal reisenger was benedicts old name i think)

Yeah, I think his old nam was Ratzinger or something like that. Yes, may Pope John Paul 11 rest in peace!

God is more a father figure to me. Oh my gosh, God has answered so many prayers for me throughout the years. I can't count them. I really don't see how I could get through days without him. And there were so many times of disappointments where I just clung to Him. He really is my Savior.

I can hear the voice But I don't want to listen
Strap me down and tell me I'll be alright
I can feel the subliminal need To be one with the voice
And make everything alright

Indeed. For me I dont really know how God can be real, cos his omnipotence and power just cannot be grasped by my mind. However everything in the world, and logic, points to his existence, so i have to trust in blind faith.

JPII was a saint, i agree. U know I attended a special mass there, with him celebrating the mass. He also blessed me.

btw i just posted in the hp section answering some of glenwings questions about god, so should we move everything about God here now?

I believe I have felt God's presence before. It was during a Eucharistic adoration and I felt it so tangibly I felt like I could have wrapped His presence and love around me like a blanket. It was the best feeling ever. to me God is someone who is always there for you, loves you more than anything or anyone else. I can't tell you how many times I've layed awake until all hours of the night just talking to Him, telling Him everything that's wrong and all the good things going in my life at the time. He has helped me so much through the years and I've only just started noticing it a lot through out the past maybe two years. He has answered so many prayers for me. Often just little things, a few times bigger things, most of which I don't want to talk about but am extraordinarily thankful for. THANK YOU GOD!

What's the point in all this screaming? You're not listening anyway

I totally agree, Narina! God is so great!
Wow, Argetlam! You are so lucky to have been blessed by the Late Pope! Omgosh, I wish I had had that opportunity!
Glenwing, answered prayers are incentives to believe in God but just our existence is a thing to thank Him for. Much less thanking him for the chance to gain Eternity in Heaven!

Oh that must have been awesome to be blessed by JPII! Yeah, I talk to God so much, He is like a father or a great friend to me because even though He doesn't actually talk back I know He is always their for me, like the one person who can always understand even if no one else can. Eucheristic adoration are when I feel His presence the strongest but I can always feel Him there, when I'm scared or upset or just whenever but just to know how much He loves you and cares and understands is the greatest feeling in the world.

Yeah you know JP kissed me on the head. I am a relic.
Glenwing, God is a mystery. I am not saying I dont know if hes there and I just believe anyway. I am saying that God is the creator of the Universe, we were in his mind at the very beginning of time, can you grasp the power he has in his hands? at any moment he could kill us all in a snap of his fingers. We, humans, are so minute compared to him. If we could understand him we would all be fervent catholics right?

and prayers that are answered do help me believe in god to a certain extent, but it is important to understand that God is not a puppy who will jump if we say 'jump', and he is under absolutely no obligation to answer all our prayers with a 'yes.' Who is like God? His ways are not our ways. (quote from bible.)

Wow, that's an awesome quote.
Haha, yeah, Argetlam, third class relic! lol! Hm.. it's actually true. You could be considered a third class relic. I WANT A PIECE OF YOU! LOL! Just kidding. heehee
Omgosh, the part where you said "God is a mystery" reminded me of a song. I'll put the lyrics down here:

"They tell you where you need to go
They tell you when you'll need to leave
They tell you what you need to know
They tell you who you need to be

But everything inside you knows
There's more than what you've heard
There's so much more than empty conversations
Filled with empty words

And you're on fire
When He's near you
You're on fire
When He speaks
You're on fire
Burning at these mysteries

Give me one more time around
Give me one more chance to see
Give me everything You are
Give me one more chance to be... (near You)

Cause everything inside me looks like
Everything I hate
You are the hope I have for change
You are the only chance I'll take

When I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
And I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries
These mysteries...

I'm standing on the edge of me [x3]
I'm standing on the edge of everything I've never been before.
And I've been standing on the edge of me
Standing on the edge

And I'm on fire
When You're near me
I'm on fire
When You speak
(Yea) I'm on fire
Burning at these mysteries... these mysteries... these mysteries
Ah you're the mystery
You're the mystery"
