Answers to prayer show us how God worked in the past to give us encouragement for the present and the future.
The featured answers to prayer stories come from Adventists who live right here in western Washington. This is a collection of true personal stories in which contributors recount the incredible miracles that have happened in their lives.
These stories are about instances of answered prayer, divine intervention, faith, and divine appointments. The authors trust that you will find great strength in reading their miraculous stories of how God blesses despite the circumstances we are in.
