What has God done for you personally?
I want to hear your stories of what God has done for you personally; that means the whole dying on the cross thing is out since he did that for all of mankind and not just you.
So what has God done just for you?

That's an awesome question. The question you seem to be asking is not as much about the regular, every day blessings in life, but the miraculous. I think someone should make a systematic place on the web where these stories can be collected. Then I looked for one. See my sources.
In my own life, I've seen very few direct miracles, at least not the ones that wouldn't be instantly dismissed by an atheist. My wife prayed for my mom on her death bed and she got 3 more years to live. I think of the stories of folks like Ian McCormack (A Glimpse of Eternity) and Don Piper (90 Minutes in Heaven). Those stories are astounding. I just read a testimony of someone's eyes being opened. Again, see my sources.
The stories are there, if you bother to look for them... and if you have any faith to believe.

Well if there is a god.. then Id be pretty happy with him/her because my life is pretty good and gets better and better. Every time I feel like stuffs going wrong it always turns around and goes right.
Also even though I know there is no scientific proof god exist.. Ive had far to many things happen just the way I dreamed about to not think that there is some connection between consciousness and reality and connecting to a higher power I cant tell you how many times Ive dreamed up a person or situation and then it comes into my reality just like i wanted it. Without me making it happen. But who knows.. I dont think about things I just enjoy life.

I prayed for two years for two things: a wife which I described in detail, and a specific career. One random weekend, two years into it, I met the exact woman I wanted (which I married) and started school for the exact career I wanted (which I am now a professional) and I'm living the dream. There was no way that was an accident or coincidence.

Far less than the Easter Bunny.
The Bunny used to leave me chocolate eggs, but stopped for some reason when I was about 15.
Do you think I might have offended him somehow? :(

My heavenly Father guides me through my life, and keeps me from getting into serious trouble. If I do find problems, he comforts me with his friendship and love, so that whatever happens does not keep me down. If he tells me through his word that something is bad for me, I can trust him to tell the truth, and I don't have the problems that people who would do that something inevitably get. If he tells me to do something through his word, I can trust him that his direction is right, and without fail I will be blessed by obeying him.
Jehovah is my shepherd, I shall lack nothing.

You are getting me after 40 years walking in the light. God helps me everyday by answering my prayers. Pray for others is the key. God tells us He knows what we need. I always pray for others.

The river near our home began flooding. We were on our way home and the water was beginning to flow over the road. We thought we could make it across this low spot in the road, it was about 1/10 of a mile long. We started across it. The water was rising fast and water started coming in the floor of the truck and the engine quit. I prayed feverishly, and suddenly the truck started and we drove on across.
It was a Saturday. I had the kids in the car and we went shopping for the usual stuff, nothing unusual, except that we needed a new kitchen sink faucet and I was unsure of which one I should buy. So I stopped by the house and picked up my husband. I turned the car off and we briefly went into the house to get him, and returned to the car. The car would not start. There was no sound, no grinding, no clicking, nothing. No dome light, no radio, nothing. We lifted the hood of the car and stood there wondering what to do. We could see nothing wrong, so we sat in the front seat for a minute, thinking about what to do next. Suddenly the dome light and the radio came on, and the car started. We took off for the store and as we went up the on-ramp to the freeway a huge accident had just occurred and people were running to damaged vehicles. I saw one man hand a baby out a car window to a stranger. He himself was trapped in the car, but the window was down just enough that he could get the baby out of the car through the window. We would have been if that accident , but God protected us.
I was driving on a country road in a remote area of northern California, near the Oregon border. This was a sparsely populated area. I had a flat tire, so I got out the jack and attempted to lift the car to get the spare on. It was on old, heavy car, and although I know intellectually how to change the tire, I was not strong enough to depress the handle of the jack. I tried and tried, my teenage daughter and I tried together, but even the two of us together were not able to lift the car. A minute or two after our failed attempts and truck pulled up on this seldom traveled road. The man got out to see what he could do to help us. He "just happened" to have a floor jack in the back of his truck. Nothing else, just the floor jack. He changed our tire. I offered to pay him, but he would not take any money.
On a similar old road in northern California I ran out of gas. The gas gauge was broken. I got out of the car to start walking to the nearest town. My step-mother rolled down the car window and yelled "Where are you going"? I yelled back "into town to get some gas". A man came out of the bushes at the side of the road and said "You need gas? I have gas," and handed me a gallon of regular gas. I put it into the gas tank, handed the empty can to him and offered to pay for the gas. He refused to take any money and walked back into the bushes.
My daughter, granddaughter and I were driving from the coast of Ca. to Reno. Outside of Redding, Ca. rocks fell off the cliff onto the road. I could not avoid them all, and hit one rock. We drove on, into and through Redding and several miles on the other side of Redding. Suddenly we had a flat tire. I pulled over, my daughter and I started unloading the trunk to get to the spare, and a man on the opposite side of the road with fishing gear in his hands yelled "Flat tire"? We shook our heads "Yes". He yelled to his fishing buddies down on the Trinity River. They acted like a pit crew and changed our tire. The father of the bunch told us to go back into Redding and buy another spare at a certain location. We bought a spare and had it mounted for three dollars.
I knew it was about time for my annual mammogram, but I was in no hurry to do it. Finally one day I was prompted within myself to call and make an appointment. When I arrived for the appointment the woman looked in my file and said "If this was yesterday your insurance would not have paid for this. Today is the first day that they will pay, because exactly one year has passed since your last mammogram". I had breast cancer, it was caught the first day it could have been caught with my insurance paying for it. I had surgery, radiation, and oral meds. That was eight years ago. I am now cancer free.
