In the strictest sense, God s providence does not employ miracles today. During miraculous times God sometimes used miracles to aid his providence. Miracles, among other things, were always visible demonstrations of supernatural power. Therefore, God s providence appears mysterious to us. The purpose of God s providence is the ultimate redemption of humanity.
Prayers are effective through providence.
God, though, does not interfere with free moral agency. Providence as it pertains to Christians is circumstantial. God uses imperfect humanity to further his providence. A key element of providence is that through it God provides . But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel.
