Trusting God with the Impossible

1 Kings 17:17-24

As believers, we pray for healing for people all the time, but how often have you asked God to bring someone back to life? I’m not sure the Lord wants us to pray for literal resurrections, but I do know he wants us to trust him with what seems impossible. Elijah had previously shown himself to be faithful in trusting God’s provision. When he asked for the unthinkable, God answered “yes!”

Questions for further thought:
1. Why do Christians tend to limit their prayers to what they think is possible?
2. What impossible thing does God want you to ask for?  

​Challenge: Start a prayer list/journal (or add to what you already have) and write down everything you’ve been wanting to pray for, especially what seems impossible. Then start praying consistently for these “crazy” requests. Exercise your faith muscles and be ready for his answer!
