Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead man, exclaimed, But Lord, by this time he [is decaying and] throws off an offensive odor, for he has been dead four days!— John 11:39 (AMPC)
Like Martha, we might think it’s too late for God to help us with our problems because we’ve had them too long, or they’re just too difficult to solve. But God has shown over and over in His Word that nothing is impossible for Him. If He can raise someone from the dead, surely He can bring home a lost child, resurrect a dead marriage, or even fulfill a dream buried deep in your heart.
I want to encourage you not to give up on anyone or anything. Talk to God about it… give Him a chance to work in your life and circumstances. Be patient and expect something good to happen! I always say I’d rather ask God for a lot and only get half of it than ask Him for a little and get all of it. If you’re going to ask God for anything, it might as well be something that seems impossible.
Speak this: God can do anything, so I am going to ask Him for everything!
Prayer Starter: Father, please help me not to write off certain dreams or hopes because they haven’t happened yet. Thank You for caring about everything on my mind, and for being willing to intervene. Show me what I need to do, and help me trust You to do the rest. In Jesus’ name, amen.
