And Jesus said to him,

"If You can!

All things are possible

   for one who believes."

                Mark 9. 23

(When we bring

this situation,

this concern,

this impossibility

      before the LORD,

God enlarges our vision,

brings His glory to it,

and opens His reality

   far beyond

   our limited imagination.

Not "believe in yourself,"

not believe something

             can happen,

but believe in God.

If we only realized

     the power of God,

we would be astonished.

"Bring it to Me.")

O LORD,

We bind up ourselves

with preconceived notions.

We do not limit You

   but close our minds

   and our hearts.

Be Thou our vision,

            O LORD.

Open our hearts to

          Your Almighty power.

Help us to follow You

            into this.

You never work

      in singular outcomes,

only eternal ones.

Be glorified

      all over this day.
