Man Sees Impossible; God Speaks “I’m Possible”.

Bombarded by a multitude of Satan scenarios in loved friends’ lives, my prayers have revved up in slowing down to deeply ask God to intervene. This morn, a tad worn down from feeling more need than gratitude, I asked God why so many cherished ones’ lives seem so impossible? Needing not even a micro-second to respond, God declared: man sees impossible; I, your God, speak “I’m Possible”.

Immediately, I realized instead of laboring in prayer, I should be praying without labor. The weight of the world should not be drowning my prayers in heaviness. The promises of God should be uplifting my prayers in buoyant faith, hope and love. Not I, you nor anyone else can keep Satan’s handiwork from touching our lives. However, I you and everyone else can choose to replace Satan’s impossible with God’s “I’m Possible”; and, from here, trust God to carry us not only through, but also, beyond all trials and tribulations.

At least for me, it’s beyond time to stop bringing “dead” prayers to God. My prayers need, instead, to be “thread” prayers, woven into the fabric of God’s might. In doing so, I must clearly remember man’s might is maybe. God’s might is absolute strength that overpowers all.

Bringing our loves ones’ needs to God is one of our greatest Christian callings. Whether we do so depressed by Satan’s theatrics or inspired by the reality of God’s unlimited promises is our choice to decide. For me, this is now written in stone by Psalm 34:17-22. “When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all. He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken. Affliction will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. The Lord redeems the life of His servants; none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.”
