Do you believe in the power of prayer? [Spirituality & Religion]
If so, how do you know it was your god and not your own doing?

Yes, I do. A few years ago, a former sister-in-law of mine became ill with a very rare form of cancer in her spine. Her chances were not good. She had to live inside a hyperbaric chamber for quite some time, and she was in a great deal of pain. She had young children, and she was very depressed, thinking she would go through all that pain and would still die.
I emailed her all through it, and I researched prayer groups throughout the United States and asked for prayers for her from all of them. At one point I had 20 very large prayer groups praying for her, joining my own prayers. (They have finally stopped sending me requests for more money! LOL!!)
All I am going to say is, she got better. She did not die, and they say that she is now cancer free.
I have heard that if many voices are joined together, God will hear them and answer their prayers, especially for healing. As in any prayer, God's answer can take time to arrive, His answer might be no, and His answer might be the miracle for which you have prayed.
And how do I know that I am not personally responsible for that miracle? I sure do wish I could win a couple of million dollars from publishers clearing house, and I haven't got that little miracle going on...😂
