End with prayer

Miracle stories are not meant to become a search for spectacle. They can be an invitation to hope, gratitude and deeper trust in God.

“You are the God who works wonders.”
Psalm 77:14

Lord, strengthen my faith. Help me notice Your grace in the extraordinary and in the quiet moments of everyday life. Give comfort to those who are suffering, wisdom to those who discern, and hope to every person who is waiting. Amen.
