I ain’t a god fearin’ man, but I have plenty of hopes/desires that could easily be translated into prayer. My interpretation of this thought below: it’s when your expectations of the universe don’t jive with the reality you are handed that you have some reassessment to do. (Is that the miracle referred to? Seems like it to me)

It is not a miracle when a prayer is answered. The real miracle is when a prayer goes unanswered. -Tibetan Missionary’s advice

Yet, don’t we live like as if it’s a miracle when a prayer is answered? But that’s like praying without believing it will be heard…without believing it will be answered… without believing there is One listening…
