Prayer for those seeking miracles

God of mercy, God of impossible things, we come to You from the edge of hope, where the ground feels like it’s crumbling beneath our feet.

You know the weight we carry. You know the fear that creeps in while we wait. You know the prayers we whisper through tears, and the ones we can’t even find the strength to speak.

We ask You now, O God, for a miracle, not because we are worthy, but because You are compassionate.

Not because we know the way forward, but because You have walked with the lost, lifted the broken, and made a way through the wilderness.

For those who are drowning in grief, bring peace that passes understanding.

For those who are sick and growing weaker, bring healing, or rest, or both.

For those facing eviction, hunger, or ruin, open a door where none seems to exist.

For those tangled in systems that oppress and forget, send deliverance, send justice, send strength for today.

And when the miracle doesn’t come as we imagined, when the answer is delayed, or different, or hidden, give us the faith to believe You are still near.

Give us the courage to keep going. Give us the love to hold each other through the storm.

We lift up every desperate soul to You, O God. Do what only You can do. Make a way. Make us whole.

Amen.
