The Impossible, Possible.

 Impossible: adjective "not able to be done".
     Ever feel like the chances of your circumstances turning positive equal the word above? IMPOSSIBLE? I know I have. Even now, I still feel that way. For you, the word 'Impossible' could surface when you meet with your school counselor and he/she tells you that you can't get into the universities you desire, even if you have always worked hard. It could also surface when you hear that even the smartest person in your class didn't pass the major exam.
Impossible.
     One word, with such a powerful meaning. Sometimes, we give this word more power than the words that Jesus say in Luke 18:27 "What is impossible with man is possible with God". Getting even more personal, sometimes we let our mistakes and failures get in the way of us trusting in the grace and mercy of God on us. It is as if God cannot change our situation around for His glory because our mistake are"too bad" for him. 
THIS IS NOT TRUE. The enemy will put such thoughts in our minds to trick us into not receiving the blessing and plan He has for you and I. Jeremiah 33:8-9 says "I will cleanse them from all the guilt of their sin against me, and I will forgive all the guilt of their sin and rebellion against me. And this city shall be to me a name of joy, a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth who shall hear of all the good that I do for them. They shall fear and tremble because of all the good and all the prosperity I provide for it". 
     In Jeremiah 33, The Lord tells Jeremiah that even though the people of Israel and Judah sinned against Him, He will still bless and forgive them all to glorify His name. Even though God knew that they did not deserve His blessing and grace, He promised to have mercy on them in order to lift up His name. What was impossible with man was possible with God. 
     If The Lord did this for the people of Judah and Israel who were undeserving,  God can and will do this for you and I. Jeremiah 33:12 says "Thus says the Lord of hosts: In this place that is waste, without man or beast, and in all of its cities, there shall again be habitation of shepherds resting their flocks". Whatever you believe in your life could only be barren, God can/will make it fruitful for His glory and your good. The fears of this life will try and scare you into thinking your situation will only remain the same, but Isaiah 41:10 says "So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand". Reach out to The Lord, and He will help you!

Do you pray about it, as much as you talk about it?

Do you pray about it, as much as you talk about it?   I saw this sign the other day on the internet and it got me thinking… It’s actually crazy how we can talk about some of our issues, struggles or dislikes for hours. Many times we feel like calling someone or just hanging out with someone close and we just want to share out heart out. Once we share, we feel a momentary relief as well. Our friends, parents or siblings take time out of their schedule to listen to our rants and provide insight, advice, etc. and that makes us happy and comforted. We realize how much we need each other. The more trust we build, the more we share; the more we share the more we care for one another; and the more we care for one another the more we can endure. So I think it’s important to talk about stuff and I believe it will only help you, it relieves stress and anxiety… but the question is “Do you pray about it, as much as you talk about it?” Sometimes we have a lot of plans. Plans for the

Sometimes my plan fail, but God always gives me better options.

     There are many times in my life when things went in a completely opposite way than I had thought or planned.  I am an impatient person, so I like things to be done my way and in my own time. I've found that in each and every one of those situations, God had a completely different plan.  Many times, we plan out things with our own knowledge, and then we blame God when things start going wrong.  We try to teach God by telling him how things should work out. We become upset, and frustrated at God. We then begin to fear and wonder why things didn't work the way we planned and prayed. Maybe it’s our sins?  Or did God even hear our prayer? We often say we trust in Him, but if we trust God the way we say we do, we must trust that God knows what is best for us in every situation.  If we put our trust in Him He will direct us in the way that is best for us, even if we don’t think that it’s the best for us in that moment.  Often, we are too stubborn to listen to Him or follow H
