Your Pathway to Miracles

He who forms the mountains, who creates the wind, and who reveals his thoughts to mankind, who turns dawn to darkness, and treads on the heights of the earth—the Lord God Almighty is his name.—Amos 4:13 (NIV)

Augustine of Hippo is quoted as saying, “Miracles are not contrary to nature but only contrary to what we know about nature.” Do you limit your prayers to earthly thinking? The same Almighty God who created the oceans and wind, hears your prayers. Tell Him your concerns; believe in His infinite power and wondrous abilities to miraculously answer your needs.

Great Creator, I believe that nothing is impossible because of You.
