Will God Answer This Prayer?

My de-conversion from Christianity is fairly recent and has been difficult for my family. My father is convinced that the reason I am no longer a Christian is that I have never personally experienced God. My Dad is probably right. If I had a sense that God was communicating with me, even if it were to say no to my every request, I never would have questioned the truth of Christianity. This weekend my father and my non-Christian brother Jon are visiting. My father has proposed that this weekend, we all get together and pray that God give us a manifestation of himself. I have agreed to do this. My case against Christianity is inferential and I don’t hold to it with certainty. A manifestation such that occurred to Doubting Thomas would certainly have a large effect upon my assessment.

If you are a Christian that believes that God answers prayer, feel free to pray that God answers my Dad’s prayers. My Dad believes that God answers prayer and is actively performing miracles even today. However, I do fear the disappointment that my Dad will experience if he goes through with this. Of course, the disappointment could eventually be good for him. I’ll let you know how it goes after this weekend.
