Impossible Prayers In Dark Places

Year 6 - Day 265: Today, I am grateful for impossible prayers in dark places.

God does some amazing things in the dark places of our lives. What appears to be a trial, is sometimes, God working things out. One thing I know for sure is that it is a special thing to pray with someone, when things seem dark and impossible. Bob Goff says it well:

“Grace works that way. It's a kind word from a gentle person with an impossible prayer. It's a force sometimes transmitted best hand to hand in a dark place.”  Bob Goff, Love Does: Discover a Secretly Incredible Life in an Ordinary World

When hope seems lost, we must remember that our God is bigger than our circumstances. His hand on us protects and quite. In the broken places, His light can shine through. 

Hospitals, jail cells, classrooms and locker rooms are all places where we can feel alone and abandoned. It is important to seek His face in the impossible moments, too. 

Impossible prayers are a specialty for our Lord. When we seek His face, he delivers all that we need. 

Weeping may endure for a night, But joy comes in the morning. 

Today, I am grateful for impossible prayers.
