It was a gamble, and it was successful thanks to lots of planning on the Allied side and some bad choices by the Nazis. But if you read the biographies of the military leaders of that time, they really thought it an extremely risky adventure that could have failed.

It was an excellent completion of planning, war material production, transportation and training, as well as subterfuge in making the Germans think the real landing was going to come at the Pas de Calais.
No miracle, just tons of hard work for years.

Partly.
They planned well about Overlord, the skeleton army in Scotland, hidden armies somewhere, and spies who work for the allies (note: one of them was awared an Iron Cross from Hitler himself), fortunately, (this is where they got lucky or miracle you say) they fooled Hitler, and when Rommel propose a counter-attack, Hitler deny the request. If he accepts, there is a big possibility that the landing will be repel.

No , it was just very well planned. Nothing was overlooked and every eventuality was taken into consideration.
The Canadians even landed with a psychiatric team to get shell shocked soldiers back into action as quickly as possible

No.
Miracles are acts of God. The Normandy landing was an act of war. God hates war.
