Explanations for "Miracles" and Healing in Religion?

I've heard several stories about how people have been cured from cancer/aids/diabetes/etc... just by praying to the god to be healed. I have even done it myself, and yet to hear my results coming back from the doctor to see if I was actually healed from my Type 2 Diabetes; now I don't...

If you roll a die and pray for a six, God will miraculously answer your prayer one in six times.

This is exactly how it works with everything else you pray for. Some people like to call rolling six a "miracle" and ignore all the other dice rolls.

I think each and every religion has its own healing processes. We can say that ... the aim of healing is same but by the different ways.

I heard prayers like special prayers, abundance prayers, prayer for healing etc an it works for the people who have faith in it.

Miracles are occurrences that excite wonder or astonishment; effects in the physical world that surpass all known human or natural powers and are therefore attributed to supernatural agency. In the Hebrew Scriptures the word moh·pheth′, sometimes translated “miracle,” also means “portent,” “wonder,” and “token.” (De 28:46; 1Ch 16:12, ftn) It is often used in conjunction with the Hebrew word ʼohth, meaning “sign.” (De 4:34) In the Greek Scriptures the word dy′na·mis, “power,” is rendered “powerful works,” “ability,” “miracle.”—Mt 25:15; Lu 6:19; 1Co 12:10, AT, KJ, NW, RS.

A miracle, amazing to the eye of the beholder, is something beyond his ability to perform or even to understand fully. It is also a powerful work, requiring greater power or knowledge than he has. But from the viewpoint of the one who is the source of such power, it is not a miracle. He understands it and has the ability to do it. Thus, many acts that God performs are amazing to humans beholding them but are merely the exercise of his power. If a person believes in a deity, particularly in the God of creation, he cannot consistently deny God’s power to accomplish things awe-inspiring to the eyes of men.—Ro 1:20

Let me see an arm that has grown out again. Then come back.

Prayers are answered but not always in the way you want them to be or expect.

They never happened.Please be cautious and follow doctor's advise.
