God Is Able!

being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
Romans 4:21

Why do we not turn to God in prayer more often? Because at some basic and perhaps unconscious level, we are not 'fully persuaded' that He is able to do anything about it. Being able to admit that to God and ourselves is humbling. It is also the point at which we begin to overcome our doubts, our self-sufficiency and our lack of confidence in God. Nothing changes until we can pray, 'Lord, help me. I say things with my lips I do not allow to govern my life.' Once we can speak those words with conviction, we are ready to begin walking through our Bible, rediscovering that, 'God is able.' Able to deliver from fiery furnaces of adversity (See Daniel 3:17). Able to give a child to a 90 year-old woman (See Romans 4:19). 'Able to do immeasurably more than all we ask' (Ephesians 3:20). Whatever it takes for you to own the words, 'God is able,' do it, because until you do you will be a faint-hearted prayer. You will make a few wishes on your knees, but you will not be able to persevere in prayer until you know in your heart of hearts that God is able and that He is willing.

God is capable of handling anything you bring to Him. Creating planets is no problem for Him; neither is taking the little you have and making it go a long way. Nothing is too difficult for Him; he is just waiting for you to recognize that, then come to Him in faith, asking for His help.

Prayer
Heavenly Father, forgive my lack of trust in you being able to deliver what you promise. Help me let go of things and let you act. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
