...who gives life to the dead
and calls into existence
the things that do not exist.
Romans 4. 17
God spells out
how to face the impossible.
This situation is not dead yet.
This is not the end of the story.
Because God restores.
God redeems.
God multiplies.
God resurrects what
appears to be lifeless.
But our part is to
give God the space to work
and follow Him into it.
God is not limited
by what is seen or not seen.
Even when it is against the odds,
when we call on Him,
God cannot help but respond
and bring something about.
Are we willing to change
and trust Him in it?
God does the heavy lifting,
but our part is to follow Him
into the space He has opened.
When we hold tight to Him,
of what do we let go?
Selfishness, pride and despair.
O LORD,
Guide us into this unreasonable
situation, relationship,
and heavy circumstances,
all rolled into one big mess.
Help us to realize that the impossible
is what is not able to occur,
exist or be done
without You.
Breathe Your life into this.
We cannot see our way,
but You bring us through.
Order our day.
Order our way.
Reorder our loves.
And align our hearts
with Yours.
Help us to run with You.
