Why don't we see more miracles?

If you have ever heard someone speak of a miracle you probably, responded with some skepticism. Don’t worry, we are meant to believe God when we know it is him, not someone who claims a miracle happened and not even necessarily that a miracle is taking place when something we didn’t foresee happened. A miracle in physical terms is defined as a suspension of or an event that defies natural laws as a result of divine or supernatural intervention. The above is said because it has been reportedly observed that demonic possession can have natural law-defying moments which does not make it God doing the intervening. One may go their entire lives without seeing a miracle, not because of their lack of faith or God’s potency to do them. However, perhaps we are missing the “miracle of the present”, God’s Providence, as distinct from miracles.
