But Jesus looked at them and said to them, \u201cWith men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.\u201d<\/em> Matthew 19:26<\/p>\n

Have you ever experienced what felt to you as an impossible situation?\u00a0 Have you ever felt hopeless, wondering how things would ever change for the better in your life, not knowing what to do, and not seeing any solution to your problems?\u00a0 I have, and I have prayed and seen God move to bring about changes in my life for good that I never thought would be possible.<\/p>\n

So today, let\u2019s pray for a miracle.\u00a0 Let\u2019s pray for an impossible situation to be rendered possible.\u00a0 Let\u2019s pray for possibilities beyond our imagination. \u00a0Let\u2019s believe Jesus words when He said: \u201cFor assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, \u2018Be removed and be cast into the sea,\u2019 and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.<\/em> \u201c\u00a0 –Jesus\u00a0 Mark 11:23\u00a0 \u00a0For\u00a0what seems to us or to others as an impossible situation, something that to our finite minds is impossible, is always possible for God, because, as Jesus said, “\u2026with God nothing will be impossible<\/em>.\u201d\u00a0 Luke 1:37<\/p>\n

Dear Lord,
\nToday I am praying for, what to me, is an impossible situation.\u00a0 I cannot see anyway that this situation could change unless You were to step in and change it.\u00a0 In my finite mind I cannot see a solution to this problem, I cannot fathom how this obstacle can be overcome or how this circumstance can be altered, but I believe You can.\u00a0 I believe Jesus\u2019 words when He said that You, God, can do the impossible.\u00a0 I believe Jesus\u2019 words when He said if I pray and believe, and not doubt, I will receive.\u00a0 So, God, I am praying today for what I see as a miracle.\u00a0 You know what this situation is, and You have the answer and the solution.\u00a0 So, I will believe and trust in You to change this impossible to possible.\u00a0 Remove this barrier in my life and bring about the change I need,
\nand if I need to do something to bring this about, show me what I must do Lord.\u00a0 Thank You Lord.\u00a0 Amen.<\/p>\n

“And whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.\u201d<\/em>\u2014Jesus \u00a0\u00a0<\/em>Matthew 21:22<\/p>\n
