Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21
Take a moment and think about something in your life that feels impossible. Maybe it’s a chronic health condition. A child that is rebelling against everything you want for him or her. A financial hole too deep to climb out of.
You may find this thing impossible, but the Bible says, “All things are possible with God” (Matthew 19:26). We don’t always understand the way God answers our prayers, but we can trust that God knows more than we do, and He has an eternal plan in mind that is far better than any we could come up with.
Just like a child who doesn’t understand why their parent says no to the cookie that will ruin their appetite for dinner, we don’t understand why God doesn’t answer every prayer with a “Yes!” One day, we will understand, but while we’re holding those things in mind and waiting, we live by faith and hope in His eternal goodness.
God has good things for you and those you love. He wants to hear your heart, no matter how outrageous your prayers sound. Nothing surprises Him, and like a good parent, He will give you whatever is the very best thing for you to have. In fact, He wants to do more for you than you can even imagine.
PRAYER: Cup your hands and picture yourself holding the thing you put in the category of “impossible”. Now lift it up and say: Lord, I’m giving you my impossible today. Please do more than I can ask or think with it. I trust in your goodness toward me and those I love. Amen.
ACTION: Please share the hope you have experienced by listening to PRAISE 106.5 by giving!
