A miracle is an extraordinary event caused by the power of God.
Sometimes the word is thrown around too often, sometimes not enough. In
Matthew, we learn about one of God’s many miracles, preformed by the Savior,
Jesus Christ.
A man came to Christ with is son who was “lunatic and sore
vexed.” He said that he took him to the disciples but they couldn’t heal his
son. The man asked why the disciples couldn’t heal him and he said, “because of
your unbelief,: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of
mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place;
and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. Howbeit this
kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.”
For this miracle to happen, the disciples/man needed to have
faith, prayer, and fasting. There are some other scriptures that help us to
better understand miracles as well. In 3 Nephi 18:20, we are told that we have
to ask what is right fully believing and we will receive an answer. In D&C
50:29 it says something similar. In D&C 42:48, it reinstates the fact that
if you have faith, you will be healed.
Miracles aren’t just for healing the sick though. There are
many miracles that happen in our daily lives. They still require faith, fast
and prayer, but they will come if we are righteous and we ask.
But a key to miracles is to acknowledge them. If we know how
to see miracles, then we can appreciate them and our lives will be happier.
