A Prayer About God’s Hand

A prayer about God’s Hand

When I need a reminder that God can do anything

Almighty God,

Your Word is filled with stories of the impossible: a flood covers the earth, a sea is parted so people can walk through it, the sun keeps shining until a battle can be won, a man survives three days in the belly of a fish, a virgin gives birth to a baby boy. If I didn’t believe that you exist, these stories would defy all logic. But because I believe you are the creator of all things, I also believe that you can alter what you created. You can break natural law to cause something supernatural to happen. Your hand can do the impossible! O Lord, give me the faith to understand that what I see with my eyes is not all there is. Teach me to recognize and appreciate the impossible things you accomplish for me and around me each day. The most amazing of all is the miracle of redemption through Jesus. You specialize in doing what, from a human perspective, is impossible. When I reach the end of my abilities, may I always remember that this is just the beginning of yours.

[People asked,] “Then who in the world can be saved?” [Jesus] replied, “What is impossible for people is possible with God.” Luke 18:26-27
