Looking for Miracles

July 28, 2026 - One of the great stories of the migration of the Latter-day Saint pioneers occurred in the summer of 1848. After planting their crops and planning for an abundant harvest, crickets invaded the fields, devouring the tender plants that would never grow to fruition.

And so they prayed. And God sent a miracle in the form of seagulls who ate the crickets and saved the day.

Do you need a miracle in your life? I think we all do. President Russell M. Nelson taught that we should seek and expect miracles in our life. But how exactly can we do that? Let's consider some ideas that will help bring these blessings into your life.

1. First and foremost is to remember that you are a child of God. He loves you and desires your happiness.
2. While the pioneer story is a dramatic one, miracles come in all shapes and sizes. What miracles have already seen today - no matter how insignificant it might seem?
3. Seeking miracles means putting our trust in God and His ability to answer our prayers. Have you prayed for the miracle you need?
4. Trusting in God also means trusting that He knows what is best for us. How can you develop greater faith in Him?
5. With greater faith, we can expect miracles - even if they look different than we thought or come later than we planned.

So seek and expect miracles in your life and you will receive them.

So until next time, always keep your eye on the One that loves you most. Ciao!
