Not to contradict anything that's been said so far, but there's another sense of the term miracle that's used -- I think sometimes too cheaply -- by some of the more evangelical churches. These are the situations when someone is in need of something and the thing or assistance that is needed unexpectedly appears; like, you're computer has busted and you can't finish your final paper and you have six hours left and you don't have any money to get it fixed anyway, so you go to a coffee house and tell your troubles to a guy who _just happens_ to be a computer tech, and he goes back to your place and fixes it for nothing. These things do happen, and some people are more prone to experience them -- or are just somehow open to them -- than others. I think that a better word is synchronicity.
