Jeremiah 32:17 (New English Translation)

Oh LORD God, you did indeed make heaven and earth by your mighty power and great strength.

Nothing is too hard for you!

The key word from the above proclamation is nothing. Indeed, nothing is too hard for the LORD.

There, I wrote it. That is a simple statement, not complicated, not qualified by any adjectives or such.

Do I believe it? Sure I do. God is omnipotent. I have known that for years.

Do I believe it? Sure I do.

Do I believe it? I mean, do I believe it? Every day, do I pray that God will do things that are too hard for all other means imaginable? Or, do I only pray for things that make sense?

God, give me the faith to believe that nothing is too hard for you. Fulfilling that request seems impossible, just simply too hard, but give me the faith to believe that nothing is too hard for you. Then give me the faith everyday to ask you for things that are too hard.
