Yesterday our teaching at church was titled Powerful Prayer. I have been thinking about it a lot. The pastor was talking about how his mother prays for the impossible and expects it to happen. Like for people you would never expect to become Christians. That really hit me. I have a friend, well he is actually my husband's friend, that is pretty much a self-proclaimed agnostic. I am ashamed to say I have had doubts that he would ever become a Christian. I have lacked faith that God can do the impossible. I am going to be praying more fervently about this. I ask that you pray about this also.
I am going to do that more often. Pray for the impossible. I think many times we don't get past looking at a situation with our own eyes. I am going to ask God to open my eyes to see things more like He does. Instead of seeing an impossible situation I am going to pray believing God will do the impossible. I am not saying I am not still going to struggle. I was just so inspired by the teaching last night. My heart ached after listening. Pray that God will continue to open my eyes.

I am praying with you!
ReplyDeleteArmanda,
ReplyDeleteI have difficulty praying for things I think are impossible, too. I've reminded myself that He can do anything, but I often struggle with the situations in which He didn't act and could've. So I'm praying that you will see things as possible--even when other people can't.
