The Pew Research Center reports eight out of ten Americans believe in miracles. Half of those not affiliated with any particular faith still say miracles are possible. Why such a significant number?

Belief in miracles is on the rise because people are frantically seeking meaning. With the omnipresent political upheaval and increased talk of military intervention, citizens need hope as seldom before. Miracles supply an answer for that desperate need. A renewed openness is increased.

The movie Miracles From Heaven touched that vacuum in many hearts. The story from a true life experience happened in Burleson, Texas on the Beam family farm. Nine-year-old Annabel Beam had developed a rare incurable disease that made her body unable to process food. The family had many doctors, but nothing had been found that helped.

Devout Baptist, Kevin and Christy Beam believed in the possibility of miracles, but didn’t think one would happen to them. Of course, they prayed everyday and considered miracles as probable, but that was it.

Annabel was climbing in an old hollow cottonwood tree when her foot slipped. She tumbled headfirst down 30 feet. Unconscious in the bottom of the tree, no one was sure how to get her out. A rescue team struggled to find the best way to free Annabel. Finally, they broke her free while a helicopter waited to fly her for emergency treatment. The child remained unconscious.

Kevin and Christy prayed liked never before in their lives. Their only hope was an intervention by God. They begged, knowing their daughter might not survive.

The doctors immediately began numerous scans to identify where surgery or similar treatment should begin. They stopped and repeated the process. They could find nothing wrong. In addition, to no lingering injuries from the fall, Annabel’s incurable condition was gone. The next morning Annabel and her stunned parents went home.

What had happened? Annabel Beam could only be described as a miracle.

Are miracles happening today? You bet. Everywhere!

Need hope? Here’s where you find it. You have a heavenly Father who always listens. He waits to hear from you.

Remember: Miracles never cease.
