What are you facing today that seems impossible to you?

All of us have something that feels too “big” for us. Maybe it’s finances or a health issue or a family matter. Maybe we’re single and want to meet the right person, or maybe we’re dating someone and are wondering if the relationship is going to work out.

All of us have that one thing that feels like it’s towering over us. We look at it and are tempted to say, “No way can I beat this.”

“Seriously, how am I supposed to win?”

“I’m just not cut out for this.”

Some of us give up, because we feel so discouraged.

But every time we are facing an impossible situation, we need to remember that is God’s starting point—the impossible. Multiple times in Scripture, things seemed totally hopeless, but then God showed up and turned everything around. That God is on your team, and He can turn your impossible situation around the same way He did for so many people in the Bible.

God of Miracles

Your heavenly Father loves you more than you know, and He is the God of Miracles. He does what can’t be done.

Joshua conquered all these kings and their land in a single campaign, for the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for his people. (Josh. 10:42 NLT)

Think about that verse from a personal perspective:

It doesn’t matter how strong your enemy is.
It doesn’t matter how big your obstacle is.
It doesn’t matter if everyone says it can’t be done.

God is bigger than your enemy. He is bigger than your obstacle. He can do what the world says is impossible. He has done the impossible before, and He will do it again.

Your circumstances might be saying, “This is never going to work!” But you don’t have to agree with what the “facts” are saying. You serve a God who can take the land in a single campaign. It is not hard for Him, and He is fighting for you.

This Week’s Declaration & Prayer

Here is a declaration you can speak over yourself and your family this week. It is based on Isaiah 41:12–13:

I will look in vain for those who tried to conquer me. Those who attack me will come to nothing. The Lord holds me by my right hand. He is my God, and He is saying to me, “Don’t be afraid. I am here to help you.”

If that declaration speaks to your heart, print it out and put it where you can easily see it. Or copy and paste it into the reminder app on your phone, and set it to pop up later in the day.

Here is a simple prayer about impossible situations and the God who loves you. May it comfort your heart, and may you remember that nothing is impossible for Him.

Father God, this is the situation I am facing today: . It seems impossible to me, and I don’t know what to do. But I know You are good, and You have a plan to show me Your goodness. Thank You for that plan! I love You and trust You, and I know that one day soon, this impossible situation won’t seem impossible anymore. In Jesus’ name, amen.
