With these words, we dey put our whole being—body, mind, and spirit—for Jesus hand. The true “miracle” no always be healing for body, but na to restore our relationship with God and renew our soul through grace.

Dem dey invite us to turn our hearts back to God and trust more deeply for the way God dey care for us and guide our lives.
When we pray the Prayer for Miracle, we no dey try force God to act. Instead, we dey open ourselves completely to wetin He want—whether na healing for body, healing for relationship, grace to forgive, or strength to continue to stand firm inside suffering.
