All Things Are Possible With God

Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Matthew 19:26 NIV

Do you believe in the power of prayer?

Sometimes my response to that question has a caveat. It’s more of a: Yes and… That “and” demonstrates not only my lack of faith in God and what God can and will do, but also demonstrates my trust in myself and/or others. I hate to admit.

This past week, I challenged myself: Pray the impossible. Trust God fully. Stop trusting me. Stop trusting man. Trust God.

And I did.

And I prayed.

And. God responded.

He spoke to my heart. He answered prayers that I had prayed for so long, yet hadn’t trusted Him fully to answer. He opened my heart to learn to love others as He does. He opened my eyes to see others as He does. He opened my eyes to see the folly of my own ways, because, no, it’s not always, or only, them sometimes I’ve been the problem, contributed to the problem, created the problem, continued the problem.

The work isn’t done. He’s still working on me. He’s still revealing.

Still, I don’t know if it’s ever been more real to me that even the impossible is possible with God…
