It is safe to say a majority of religions practiced by man believe in miracles. Even people who are not religious occasionally find themselves hoping for a miracle. 

Humans are plagued with an unquenchable thirst for more, in addition to the unending problems that plague everyone in the world – many people need a miracle. 

They pray, hope and dream for a miracle. Of a truth I tell you, many people think of God as a kind of Santa Claus, which is why there is so much asked and expected of him as people expect non-stop miracles. 

And this thought process is what births the numerous misconceptions about miracles. So in this article, we will discuss what miracles do and the common misconceptions about miracles. 

Can Miracles Happen? 

Yes, indeed miracles can and do happen. There are several instances in the bible of God, his son and other people performing miracles. Some of these miracles were achieved through prayer and supplication. 

However, in recent times many pastors and religious men expect and speculate that prayers are supposed to cause miracles to work wonders like completely altering the course of one’s life, changing one’s destiny or natural order of things. But a miracle cannot and will not do these things. 

So What Do Miracles Do? 

Genuine miracles are subtle and natural, they do not alter the natural order of things instead they blend in. Miracles can not remove certain problems for you, specifically problems that are meant to purify you, and problems originating from karmic debts. 

There are struggles and tragedies you must see to the very end and no prayer and miracle can save you from it. 

Common Misconceptions About Miracles 

• All miracles come from heaven 
• Miracles can do and undo anything as long as you have faith
• Fervent and persistent prayers will bring about miracles faster
• Miracles are dramatic and awe-inspiring
• The stronger your faith, the better your miracles 

My brotherman and sisterwoman, miracles may not be as mind-blowing and superficial as you are made to believe they still exist. It is important that you know there is only so much that can be altered in your life. Your life and journey on earth is subject to so many factors like destiny and karma. Of a truth, no matter how many times you pray and hope for a miracle, there is only so much that can be changed.
