Answered Prayer

I just want to share this experience for anyone who wonders if God answers prayers, or if God even exsists for that matter. Back in 2003, I was stationed on Wurzburg Germany as a young soldier. For some reason I decided to be a party goer more so than ever before. I eventually ended up in partying with not only heavy drinking but using exstacy and speed mainly to continue partying. I really was sinking into a very deep hole of partying, stupidty, and a lot of wasted money. Granted I had a lot of fun in many ways and in other ways I was very upset and I truely felt lonely and purposeless. One weekend I partied like usual and then before going to work that Monday I then decided to have a venting moment with God. I really poured my heart out to God. Not in any reverent way, just standing there in my barracks room then. I complained and stated to God that I had done so much before with my faith, that I had tried to be a good man. I asked God one simple question and apologized at the same time while asking. I said, "Do you love me?" and if so "Show me." I really felt bad for asking such a prayer because I truely asked for a sign. I didn't think I should of been asking for such a miraculous sign in order for God to answer my prayer, however then very next day would prove otherwise. After our morning physical fitness, I then walked by myself to get some breakfast at the PX. A random lady walking my way for no apparant reason came up to me, said hello and then proceeded to say, "I want you to know that God loves you." She then gave me a breakfast coupon and a few dollars for no reason and said enjoy some breakfast for free. I then smiled and said thanks and walked off very very in awe and till this day I still cannot forget this experience. So for anyone who doesn't feel loved or important I will tell you otherwise. God loves all of us and if you ask him with faith he will answer you every time.
