A Prayer For Miracles

A prayer for Miracles

When I need a miracle

Holy God,

The miracles recorded in the Bible can seem like ancient myths to those who fail to recognize your work in the world today. Back in the days of Moses, Pharaoh was blind to your power despite the miracles performed right before his eyes. I, too, can be blind to your miracles despite the mighty works you are doing all around me. It’s impossible to see what I refuse to believe in. But when I cease doubting and allow myself to look for you, you show yourself in miraculous ways. I often expect a miracle to be a dramatic event, like someone being raised from the dead. But miracles are happening all around me! These supernatural occurrences may not be as dramatic as the parting of the Red Sea, but they are no less powerful. The birth of a baby, an awesome sunset, the healing of an illness, the restoration of a hopeless relationship, the rebirth of the earth in spring, salvation by faith alone—these are just a few incredible ways you act in your creation. When I think I need a miracle, remind me to look closer. They’re happening all around me.

Come and see what our God has done, what awesome miracles he performs for people! Psalm 66:5
