There were some choice lines and lessons for me in the article titled "Faith in the Savior, Not Faith in the Miracle" by Jessica Zoey Strong.

"I laid in bed pondering miracles. As I did, I internalized something important: I wasn’t supposed to have faith in a miracle itself. I was supposed to have faith in Jesus Christ. And I did (and still do) have faith in Him."

"Our faith in the Savior does make a difference. President Russell M. Nelson said: 'The mountains in our lives do not always move how or when we would like. But our faith will always propel us forward. Faith always increases our access to godly power.'"

"I realized that the most important miracle in my life had already happened—the Savior suffered and died for me. He took upon Himself my sorrows, weaknesses, sicknesses, and even all my complicated emotions surrounding infertility. He is the ultimate miracle that makes everything else OK"

"If you’re waiting for a miracle, as so many of us are, know that your faith does make a difference. Pray to see all the small miracles you are receiving. Know that Heavenly Father will continue to bless you with many miracles while you are waiting on Him. And trust that the greatest miracle of all—the Savior’s infinite Atonement—has already been given."
