Prayer In Impossible Situations: Is There Anything Too Hard For The Lord?
The Bible is full of incredible stories about people who needed help in impossible situations and how God came through for them. The story of Abraham, his wife Sarah, and the birth of their son Isaac is a great example of trust in the Lord.
Sarah was barren and had reached an age when she could no longer have children. But God made a promise that she would have a child and so she trusted him.
The enemy is constantly trying to fill your mind with negativity and doubt. “You will never be able to conceive”, “You are too old”, “You will not be healed”, You will never overcome”, “You will never come out of debt”.
John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and that they may have it more abundantly.
Sometimes we do come up against mountains in our lives. They seem impossible to climb and overcome.
But as a child of God, you are not limited by what you see, by the current circumstances, or by what others say.
With God, all things are possible!
When we have faith and trust in the Lord, He opens doors and avenues for us that we could not otherwise have seen.
The enemy will attempt to take everything away from you: your joy, peace, comfort, health, finances.
Don’t allow him to succeed. The Lord has given us all we need to triumph in these battles. Hold on to your faith, remain in prayer, and declare the goodness of God.
What can be heart-breaking is when you have prayed about a situation and nothing seems to happen. You may now lose hope and simply give up.
This is what the Lord is says: Jeremiah 32:27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?
The book of Ezekiel 37 talks about the valley of dry bones. Those dry bones today can be your finances, your marriage, your education, your health, or just anything that is giving you sleepless nights.
Ezekiel 37:5-6 Thus says the Lord God to these bones,
‘Behold, I will cause breath to enter you that you may come to life. I will put sinews on you, make flesh grow back on you, cover you with skin and put breath in you that you may come alive; and you will know that I am the Lord.’”
That is what the Lord is saying to your situation. And it shall come to pass that when He is done with you, you will know that He is the Lord.
Ezekiel was told to speak the impossible, and God brought it all to life. Now speak the impossible into your situation or need. Speak God’s positive words into that mountain you are facing.
Don’t believe the lies of the enemy. Instead, move forward in faith and expectancy.
Don’t grow weary in your expectations. Never stop believing but instead, continually declare God’s word on your life.
Declare the promises of God over your life, every day. Activate your faith. And every morning declare that with God, all things are possible!
Matthew 19:26 But Jesus looked at them and said to them, “With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
Remember, you are a child of God. You are a member of the royal household of the Lord.
Let Us Pray
Dear Lord, You are my God, I am but human. Your thoughts are not my thoughts, and Your ways are not my ways.
As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are Your ways higher than mine and Your thoughts than my thoughts. I thank You that I can always rely on You.
Heavenly Father, Your Word says that I should not lean on my understanding but should always trust in You.
The doctor said I can never have children of my own. Lord, I have tried to conceive but without success. I will lift my eyes unto You because You are a God that makes the barren fruitful.
Some trust in horses, and some in chariots; some trust in their high sperm count and healthy wombs, but my spouse and I will trust in the name of the Lord.
Sarah was beyond menopause, and she conceived. Lord, You are the same yesterday, today, and forever, and I know that what you did before, You can do again.
Psalms 20:7 Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.
Psalms 121:1-2 I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from where comes my help. My help comes from the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
Overcoming Debt
Lord, it appears that I am forever in debt. But with You Lord, nothing is impossible.
When the Israelites were in the wilderness, they got sick of manna and complained that there was no meat to eat. You sent wind and it brought quail from the sea.
Thus, You gave them meat, not just enough for a day but for a whole month (Numbers 11).
Lord, You always have a way to provide. When Abraham was about to slay his son as a sacrifice, You provided a ram.
Father, I don’t know how it will happen, but I know that You already know and my debt will soon become history.
Oh Lord, give me the grace to grow in wisdom and financial prudence. May I make the best use of all You have blessed me with. Help me to control my spending and spend wisely.
Psalms 91:16 “With a long life I will satisfy him And let him see My salvation.”
Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.
Overcoming Illness
Lord, my family member has a terminal illness (or a sickness that refused to heal), but I know that by Your stripes we are healed.
Your word says that with long life, You will satisfy him/her and he/she will see your salvation in her illness.
Lord I claim your promises upon him/her. There may be no medical way to help with this type of illness, but YOUR STRIPES ARE ENOUGH. Thank You, Lord.
Lord, thank You that You make the seemingly impossible possible. Thank You that You are ready to listen to me and deliver me. In Jesus Christ’s mighty name, AMEN.
Isaiah 53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes, we are healed.
1 Peter 2:24 Who His own self, bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed.
