Can We Have the Piano?

I received a letter from my oldest granddaughter, Joy, telling me she joined the church children's choir. The director talked about instruments and asked each child if they had any instruments at home. Joy's only instrument was a recorder. And then, Joy asked me, "Mimi, can we have the piano?"

It was a BIG request for a seven-year-old.  Joy could not get a piano on her own. She went straight to the one who could meet her desire. I love her boldness.

Are you praying BIG prayers? What seems the most impossible situation you face...something you think will never change? Pray about it. The Bible tells us to "come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need" (Heb. 4: 16).

As the prophet Jeremiah prayed, he acknowledged nothing is too hard for God (Jeremiah 32: 17). Jesus said, "With God all things are possible" (Mark 10:27).

Without fear and doubt, talk to the LORD about BIG stuff that concerns you. He is able to do far more than we ask or think!

LORD, I thank You we can bring all our cares and concerns to You. Thank You for hearing our prayers. Forgive our fear and doubt. Help us to pray boldly regarding impossible situations. In the mighty name of Your Son, Jesus...amen.

What impossible things has God done for you?
