The impossible becomes possible with God’s help

In today’s world, it can be easy to fall into the trap of worry, fears or insecurities. Perhaps, one innocent decision brought you heartache. With unsettled emotions, you could have pressures on every side, and you see no relief in sight. Mourning lost time or missed opportunities, rather than thriving, you’re just surviving, as you just don’t know what to do anymore. And, you look back and with extreme sadness and think, “I didn’t get the life I really wanted.”

Yet, in the midst of chaos, God has a place of security for you. I don’t know where you find yourself, but God knows what you are going through:

• God’s eyes are not too dim that they cannot see you.

• God’s ears are not deaf that He can’t hear your prayers.

• God’s arms are not too short that they cannot reach you.

You have suffered and struggled long enough. God is saying to you, “It’s time to move forward into a new life.” The odds may be against you, but God is for you.

Once, there was a woman who was overwhelmed with difficulties, so she went to church and took her problems to God in prayer. She walked to the front of the church, and she imagined putting her problems down on the alter. Then, she walked away. However, the woman came back in only five minutes. Imaginarily, she took her problems down off the alter and worried over them again. Days passed, and she went back to church. She walked to the front and once again imaginarily placed her problems on the alter. Yet, she returned minutes later, took them back and worried about them once again.

The woman repeated this same scenario for thirty days. Finally, frustrated and discouraged, the woman asked God, “Why haven’t you taken care of all my worries?” Within her heart, God replied, “If you would have just left them totally with me…they would have been solved in three days.”

Could you take better care of your worries than God? Having done all you can, leave your worries with Him, for somehow, in some way or through someone, He will provide what you need. At a shopping mall, I saw a white tee shirt with black lettering on a mannequin in a store window. The words on the tee shirt read: “Why worry? It will probably never happen.”

Thus, never let your imagination run wild and focus on the negative, or live bitter, worried or afraid, until you give up on your heart’s aspirations. If an unconstructive thought comes into your mind, imagine you are putting that negativity on a conveyor belt. Let it go by and make a conscious effort to choose to think on thankfulness, focusing on the good you intend to manifest. Don’t get distracted, criticize or be against yourself. Be disciplined in your thought-life. See yourself strong, healthy and successful. I recall at my daughter’s ballet class, the dance instructor was teaching the ballerinas how to do pirouette turns. The students were attempting to spin and whirl to the classical piano music. However, many of them lost their balance. So the teacher told the class, “Fix your gaze on a single spot as you turn,” and she stated, “Your mind goes where you look.” Similarly, continually look at all the positive aspects of your life. Try this: As soon as you wake up in the morning, think about your top five blessings. And then thank God for each one. Remember, the more you turn your mind in positive ways and on the good things for which you aspire, the right opportunities, people and circumstances will be produced and unfold before you.

Believe for a miracle. God is going to exchange your sorrow for joy. He is going to transform your weeping for dancing. God is going to step into your life in an extraordinary way. And He will turn your sadness to gladness and exceed your expectations. What you have been looking at that seems impossible; is possible with God.

Are you fearful or concerned about an ongoing challenging situation? What you have been looking at that seems impossible; is possible with God. Hence, don’t focus on the problem. Rather, pray and cast your cares on God. Be courageous. Stand strong. God has seen the unfair circumstances that have occurred. So surrender control of your life to Him. God is a God of miracles, and He will turn the situation around for your good. And before long, you will be blessed with God’s best. “No weapon formed against thee shall prosper” (Isaiah 54:17).

Did a circumstance not work out the way you planned? What you have been looking at that seems impossible; is possible with God. So stop looking back sitting on the sidelines of life. God has something better for you up ahead. He will use the setbacks you faced as stepping stones to take you higher, further and faster. For soon, a new door of love and opportunity will open. “I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name” (Revelations 3:8).

Have you been hurt? And now are you lingering in the status quo? What you have been looking at that seems impossible; is possible with God. You have too much ability, talent and strength to waste any more of your precious time thinking about the pain of the past. Let it go, so you can make room for the new, exciting things God is going to do in your future. All things are possible with God. “Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called you…” (Philippians 3:13-14).

Resist discouragement. Let go of those who wronged you, abandoned you, and mistreated you, so you can make room for the ‘new’ people and situations God wants to bring into your life. It is like a dresser drawer. If you keep stacking it high, continually, with old worn-out shirts, torn shorts, and pants, you will not be able to make room for ‘new’ things.

A while back, I bought a beautiful ceramic bench with an inscription on it that reads, “Be still… and know that I am God.” (Psalms 46:10). It serves as a reminder to me that when we face tough times that challenge everything, we believe that we can find strength in God. And as we trust Him through our hardships, forgiving those who have wronged us, making the decision to cherish our days regardless of difficult situations, we can, “Be still…” and at peace… and “know that He is God.”

Remember, whatever your struggle today may be, you have a God who will help you. Turn to Him and receive His love, for no matter the condition; be in peace knowing that God is working situations out for your good.
