The Word is full of so many scriptures that inform us that God is able, so why don't we (I) go to His throne more with these impossible prayers? The Lord was so incredibly gracious to allow me to see two miracles just days after bathing in these truths. The stuff ONLY He can do is still taking my breath away today as I write about it.
Jesus said, "With man it is impossible, but not with God.
For all things are possible with God."
Mark 10:27
About a week after I received this reminder and had been praying for some pretty "impossible" things to happen, the Lord gave me something I had been missing since the middle of March...
Andrew and I just put the boys down for the night and were getting ready for bed ourselves. We had just replaced our stolen iPad with a iPad mini over the weekend and we were playing around with it. Andrew was asking Siri what to wear the next day because our weather had been anywhere from 40 to 75 that week...gotta love Oklahoma weather! Anyway, right after he spoke the words "What should I wear tomorrow?", our notes from our original iPad showed up on the screen of the iPad mini. You might be thinking, "huh?!" or "what?!" right about now. Trust me, that's exactly what we were thinking too. Andrew immediately emailed the documents to me and as I looked everything over, it was all there. Most of the notes from my book, my journal entries, Jack's progress notes that I have taken since his diagnosis, etc. We just looked at each other and didn't know what to say...but, we both knew it was a miracle. It was something ONLY God could have done. We were not backed up to iCloud. We didn't even know what iCloud was before all of this happened (shocking, I know.) And, yet, there it was, right in front of our eyes. Simply amazing!
We can't explain it and it doesn't make sense, but we are completely okay with that...because we believe in His word that tells us:
God can do anything, you know--far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us. Ephesians 3:20
About a week after we got the notes back, we had the opportunity to see another sweet miracle. I decided to take Jack's cane to school to see if he would attempt to use it again instead of his K-Walker. We tried to get him to use in January and he wasn't too fond of it-it was used more as a sword with Will than anything else :) When we picked him up that day, he had not tried the cane yet, so we decided to give it a shot on the way out of school. As soon as I put the cane in front of him, he grabbed it and just took off towards the door! It was as if a light-bulb went off at that moment and he felt confident that if he needed the cane, it was there to help him. We all stood there amazed, grinning ear to ear. And again, we knew it was the Lord doing what ONLY He can do.
So many of you know that this has been a prayer of mine since Jack was diagnosed at 9 months old. He will be 4 years old in July and Andrew and I have prayed so many "impossible prayers" over his life the last 3 years...we are thankful to the Lord for giving us hope and for allowing us to see Him at work!
My prayer for anyone reading this is for you to be encouraged to pray the "impossible" with me.
Pray for that job you so desire.
Pray for your marriage to be strong in the Lord.
Pray for your child to say "momma", to take a first step, to make a new friend.
Pray for your loved one to follow Jesus.
Pray for deep relationships with others.
Pray for financial freedom.
Pray to forgive the unforgivable.
Pray to give up a stronghold in your life.
Pray for complete healing-- emotional or physical.
Let us never forget--
Our God is able. Our God is stronger. God you are higher than any other.
Be Blessed!!

ReplyDeleteHey, Tiffany, I'm a member of a group of 14 ladies in 12 communities in 5 states in the US and 1 community in the UK, that pray for our countries, communities, families and the Body of Christ. I started calling some of them my posse, as in prayer posse, and the name stuck. Yesterday, I knew I was to get a letter out to the prayer posse today that would have a question, but I didn't know until I was writing the letter what the question was. Here it is: "What is the most ‘out there’, seemingly impossible prayer request you want to see God answer?" Because those requests that perhaps some of us have never even put words to before is exactly what God wants to ‘do in our midst’!
ReplyDeleteSo, I googled 'Impossible Prayers' and right there before me was your blog with this little voice saying, "Pick me! Pick me!" So I did, and sent it along to the posse as the explanation God was giving them... kind of a 'for instance'!
Thank you for listening to God and writing what you did about impossible prayers. God is able! Praying for you and your family, Tiffany.
