In a deep conversation with my friend, we reflected on how our lives extend beyond physical experiences, embodying a spiritual journey. I recalled the words, “Lord, I’ve done all that I can; now You’re going to have to take care of the impossible,” inspired by Luke 1:37. As we drove along the open highway, the rhythm of the tires on the pavement mirrored the steady flow of our discussion. We both felt the importance of staying true to our faith, especially during uncertain times.

 I could feel the weight of my impatience—my yearning for resolution was palpable, making the ongoing mental skirmish even more draining. The battle, as Ephesians 6:12 so aptly states, was not just against the tangible struggles of life but against forces beyond our comprehension, principalities of the air. I thought of Paul, who bravely voiced his inner conflict in Romans 7:23, a struggle many of us could deeply relate to.

My friend started sharing a beautiful story about how God intervened in a situation in a way that was perfectly timed. As she spoke, the comforting aroma of anointing oil seemed to envelop us, mingling with the palpable presence of God filled the vehicle. I couldn’t help but feel the warmth of tears of joy streaming down my cheeks as she praised Him with fervor and gratitude. The following day brought a remarkable turn of events; the situation she had earnestly prayed over for more than six months finally found resolution. Her husband received the position he had been assured of, a culmination of hope and faith.

I understand that it’s difficult, but God makes it better. Doors that should be closed will be closed on His terms. No one has the power to close a door when He opens it.

“I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name.” Revelation 3:8 KJV

I listened to a lady giving her testimony that encourages waiters. The CEO dismissed her ideas, and she was dismissed as well. Later, several company owners came to her, saying they wanted her to come work for them. She explained that the CEO had denied her. That CEO was fired, and they came to her to fill the position.

God’s ways are often shrouded in mystery, unexpectedly weaving through the fabric of our lives. Attempting to decipher His plans can overwhelm us, causing us to become paralyzed by uncertainty and doubt.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:”   Isaiah 55:8-10 KJV

If you are praying about the impossible, don’t give up hope. Let God do what He needs to do!
