In D&D, divine magic tends to be about as flashy as arcane magic. When a God in D&D grants a miracle, it's as noticeable as when a wizard casts a spell. So when my D&D character got healed from an illness in tonight's game, it was very clear whom he had to thank for it. When God in real life grants miracles, it's often much less obvious.
In real life, it takes far more effort to notice the hand of God in our lives. We have to actually pay attention and look for the signs of divine influence. We have to take the time to notice the little coincidences that go on in the background, where God does most of His work. Unlike a God in D&D, our Heavenly Father is so subtle in His influence that it's sometimes possible to forget that He even exists. Yet, acknowledging God's quiet hand in our lives is necessary to ensure that we keep receiving the blessings that we sometimes scarcely notice.
My D&D knew exactly where his blessing came from, but we need to pay attention just to notice our blessings at all.
