"Nothing is impossible with God," (Luke 1:37 NIV).
That certainly changes things. Anything that God is telling you to do is possible with God! This scripture was given to Mary when she asked the angel how she could be with child when she was a virgin. The angel also gives the example of Elizabeth being pregnant in her old age. "Nothing is impossible with God."
That doesn't mean everything we pray for will happen. We must use discernment and align ourselves with God's will for our lives. That's where it gets hard. Some of our prayers aren't answered the way we want. Some people get miracles. Why not all?
I think I've ventured into a question for Biblical scholars or pastors to answer. I'm sure I've heard a sermon on this before. But here I am, still seeking God's answer for my prayers. This doesn't look like we will get a Lazarus story ending to our prayers.
I can't help but wonder why no miracle this time. I have lots of reasons why there should be a miracle.
Lord, I need Your help in understanding this prayer's answer. I do know that You must have a plan. Maybe we will see it down the road a few years. I trust You to lead this family through the pain. You have taught the family so many things that may change the direction of their futures. But, I will keep asking for a miracle because You make anything possible. Amen.
