Sometimes, there is a feeling or argument that the age of miracles has ceased. This describes the reason.
"For if there be no faith among the children of men God can do no miracle among them;" (Ether 12:12)
Personally, I have actually seen miracles. I have seen times when against all odds, something happened just the way it needed to. Or someone has been led down a path, unbeknownst to them, because it was what they needed 15 years in the future. I have seen medical miracles, where someone's major medical issue just sort of "resolved itself". I have experienced the miracle of forgiveness, and a thoughtful person who randomly thought to do a random thing at a random time, but it was just what I needed. I have been that random person before too.
I don't say this to sound like "Well, I have faith, so I've seen miracles." It's more like I have been blessed to see so many miracles, that I can't deny them. I know miracles happen, and I know they are just what we need (even if they are not exactly the way we want things to happen).
The opposite of the verse above really is true too. If there is faith, God can perform miracles.
"And neither at any time hath any wrought miracles until after their faith; wherefore they first believed in the Son of God." (Ether 12:18)
God cares and watches out for all of us. He is there for us, and He is all powerful, and all knowing. He can make things happen in just the perfect way to seem like a coincidence, so things just work out with perfect timing. He wants us to be happy, faithful, and productive.
I'm grateful for the miracles that I've seen, and I have faith that I will continue to experience miracles throughout my life.
