Hope for What Seems Impossible

For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Luke 1:37

The angel said this to Mary when she received the most improbable news of her life. A virgin would become pregnant. Impossible by human standards — but not by God's.

Are there situations in your life that seem impossible right now? A relationship that seems beyond repair. A healing the doctors won't promise. A dream that's been buried so many times you've stopped digging it up.

God knows these impossibilities. He isn't intimidated by them. In fact, He seems to have a special fondness for situations humanity has already written off — because in those situations, when He acts, it's clear to everyone where the solution came from.

You don't need to understand how. You just need to keep believing that the One who created the world out of nothing can recreate what seems dead in your life.

For God, nothing is impossible. Not even your impossible.

Prayer

God of the impossible, bring hope to what seems lost in my life. I don't know how You will act, but I know that You can. Do what only You can do. Amen.
