Impossible Is Not In God's Dictionary

 

For He shatters
   the doors of bronze
and cuts in two
   the bars of iron.
...He turns a desert
   into pools of water,
a parched land
   into springs of water.

            Psalm 107. 16, 35

(God specializes
   in impossible situations,
even these crazy ones
     we are facing today.
If they were not difficult,
   if we took care of them
   with one hand tied
          behind our back,
    would we even seek Him?
Would we give Him the credit?
Sometimes God unlocks a door.
Sometimes He airlifts us
             out of the swamp.
Sometimes He gives us new shoes
                or a new heart.
Sometimes God provides a path
  through an impenetrable forest,
a way impossible to see
  and pass through without Him.)

O LORD,
Give us x-ray vision
that we would see past
   the bars and locked doors.
Help us to see in the dark.
Guide us through the desert
  right to a source of water.
And know it is from You.
No matter our circumstances,
  help us to trust You in this.
Bring about Your glory here
  in our very own impossible
        location.
You have placed us here
           strategically
to write Your name over it.
No matter what happens,
       Your glory.
