Miracles are surprising events that people often pray for because of the positive effects they bring. An HIV patient for instance prays that one day, the virus will disappear from his blood system. These events do not agree with scientific theories so they are linked to God's intervention in the lives of men. Stories of miracles abound in the Bible where different kinds of individuals were both partakers and beneficiaries of God's divine help.
One of the stories worth mentioning is the healing of the woman with an issue of blood. The woman's blood flowed continuously for twelve years until the day she met Jesus. She just said within herself that all she needed to do was to touch the hem of His garment; and that was all. Her blood flow seized as soon as she took the action.
Another interesting one is the healing of Blind Bartimeus. Bartimeus always begged along the street until one day he heard Jesus was passing by. Even though he had not met Jesus personally before then, he had heard so many things about Him. This prompted him to shout with a loud voice asking Jesus to have mercy on him. In the end, he received his sight for the first time since his birth.
The man called legion (many demons) had been abandoned by his people who thought there was no way he could regain consciousness. Although his relations had given up on him, Jesus did not forget this man who was located at the riverside. He went there specifically for him, to show him his love and care. Jesus expelled the demons from him and sent them to the pigs. The demons drove the pigs to the river where they got drowned.
Another astonishing wonder was Jesus walk on water. The purpose of this miracle was not to show off but to let his disciples know they could do anything he does by simply looking unto Him. This is true because He also beckoned on Peter to do the same.
Jesus often taught the multitude on how to get to Heaven. In one of his gatherings, there were five thousand men including women and children who had been famished after listening to His sermons. Jesus told his disciples about the need to feed the multitude and then one of them got five loaves of bread and two fish from a boy in the crowd. After blessing the food, He used it to feed them and there were twelve baskets remaining.
The shortest verse in the Bible, "Jesus Wept", was recorded when He went to see His friend, Lazarus at the tomb where he was buried. Jesus got the news that his best friend, Lazarus of Bethany, was ill but refused to go until his death just to glorify the Father. This story shows that God still has the power to raise the dead.
There are other stories of miracles in the Old Testament that can also increase the level of one's trust in God. For example after reading the account of how the Israelites passed through the Red Sea and how Naaman was healed (in 2 Kings 5:14), your dependence on God will improve. God still does these things today; you are also eligible to ask for own share of His divine visitation.
