Welcome to the forums!

Learning Spanish isn't possible with just a dictionary. You'll need to learn how the vocabulary can be used together.

Here is the translation of the sentence you asked about (I assumed 'creating a miracle' is what you meant to type - if not, let us know, as the translation will change):

Gracias Dios por crear un milagro a través de mis manos.

yeah i realized that for these few days, so i start looking for practice on the internet and it brought me here

anyway thx for the respond

and oh yeah i think i made a mistake

it should be

"Thank you God for creating miracles through my hands"

so it's not just a miracle but so many...

maybe you can explain a little about how this words work on spain? like how come some words i found is a little different from yours ex: no 'a' in a Dios, and mi turn to mis. i really appreciate it

The difference between "gracias Dios" (or perhaps "gracias, Dios") and "gracias a Dios" is similar to the difference between "Thank you God" and "Thanks to God". In the first one you are talking to God. In the second one you are talking to someone else.

One does not say "mi manos" because the adjective "mi" is the singular form of the adjective, but the noun "manos" is feminine plural: as adjectives must agree in both gender and number with their nouns, one must use the plural adjective "mis".
