Start With The Difficult

and the impossible will come

 The one thing you have thought about as “impossible” is when you think about the future. 

If “impossible” is too exaggerated a label for you to work with in daily life right now, let’s use “extremely unlikely” or “unrealistic” or “difficult.” There are things in your life or work that fit that label, aren’t there, and that could use some rising above?

The key here is to understand the principle of letting go–not letting go of the victory or of the person or situation you’re trying to help, but letting go of the instinct, born of pride, that you have to be the one to do something to change things. The key to rising above and proving that nothing is impossible is in coming to a realization that‚ yes, in the natural it is impossible. It can’t be done. It can’t change. There are insurmount­able obstacles, realistic, reasonable reasons why nothing should improve or change, and why things will always be the way they are. Yet, in spite of all that, there is hope and faith for change, because through Jesus you can rise above.

You can’t really do the impossible, but you can move His hands and heart to do the impossible. You can not only rise above things in your personal life, but you can have influence on many, many people and help them to rise above the obstacles in their lives through your prayers. They have to be wanting to rise above and desirous of fulfilling God’s will, but if they are, then your prayers have incredible power to enable them to do just that.
