A Prayer to Imagine That Nothing Is Too Arduous for the Lord
By Christine Perry

“Behold, I’m the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there something too exhausting for Me?” – Jeremiah 32:27 NKJV

What’s your inconceivable state of affairs? It could be a analysis, a mediocre marriage, a wayward little one, infertility, prolonged singleness, a damaged relationship, perpetual setbacks, or insufferable loss. We have all come to a lifeless finish in some space of our lives. If you have not, it is coming.

So, how do you consider that nothing is just too exhausting for the Lord while you can not seem to discover a manner out? In Mark 9, we see a father who’s determined to search out therapeutic for his son. He says to the Lord, “But when You are able to do something, have compassion on us and assist us.” Jesus kindly says all issues are doable to those that consider. The daddy says via tears, “Lord, I consider; assist my unbelief!”

I believe the perfect place to start out once we are struggling to consider is to be sincere with the Lord and admit that we need to consider however are wrestling with doubt.

I keep in mind one season, I felt like I might come to the top of my religion. I prayed and stated one thing alongside the strains of, “Lord, I can’t maintain on any longer. I do not see why all this heartbreak and letdown has occurred and I do not know the way it’ll ever be rotated. I’m shedding hope.”

In 2 Timothy 2:13, it says, “If we’re faithless, He stays trustworthy; He can’t deny Himself.” Our hearts, minds, our bodies, and religion will fail, however God will not ever fail. He won’t ever go away us or forsake us. Psalm 94:14 says, “For the Lord won’t solid off His folks, Nor will He forsake His inheritance.”

The second factor we are able to do is to take a look at what God has carried out up to now.

God gave Sarah a toddler previous childbearing years
Parted the Purple Sea
Introduced forth water from a rock
Fed over a half-million Israelites within the desert for 40 years
Had a pagan king pay for the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem
Made an ax head float to the floor of the water
Annihilated an enemy military whereas the Israelites sang
Saved three males from a fiery furnace
Shut the mouth of lions
Raised the lifeless
Gave sight to the blind
Healed lepers
Turned water into wine
Walked on water
Fed the 5,000 with 5 loaves and two fish
Took away the punishment for our sins ceaselessly

After we start itemizing all God has carried out, it helps remind us that, actually, there’s nothing too exhausting for Him. However, generally, these truths take some time to sink in, which is why we should be in prayer typically and our face in our Bibles day by day. It is our line of hope, and that hope anchors us in essentially the most turbulent storms.

Let’s pray:
Pricey Heavenly Father,
Thank You that You’re the similar yesterday, at this time, and ceaselessly. That being stated, what You could have carried out up to now, You are able to do it once more. However Lord, we all know You see all the image, and we solely see a sliver. So, I ask that You’d give us the religion to not solely consider in You however belief and relaxation in You.

Father, no plans of Yours may be thwarted. However, God, we come to You with our requests, asking, knocking, and looking for Your tackle our conditions as a result of that is what You inform us to do. You inform us to be just like the persistent widow who wouldn’t relaxation till she acquired justice. Assist us to be folks of prayer in order that once we hit a wall, we’ll drop to our knees, understanding full effectively that You are in a position, however then assist us to get again up after we have petitioned heaven and belief You with no matter consequence You select. As a result of what You select might be what’s greatest for the longest period of time for the best variety of folks.

Thank You that we are able to come to You damaged and know that You’ll by no means solid us away, even once we doubt.
Lord, we consider, assist our unbelief. Amen!
