Believe in the Impossible
We often believe God for what feels reasonable. What fits logic. What we can explain. But the places that stretch us the most are the ones that ask us to trust Him beyond what we can measure.
Some seasons feel impossible. You do the right things and still do not see movement. You pray and the situation stays tight. You try again, and it still does not add up. That is usually where doubt shows up, not loud and dramatic, but quiet, like a suggestion to stop expecting anything different.
.Jesus named that tension clearly when He said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible” (Matthew 19:26). He did not say it because the outcome looked likely. He said it because God is not limited by human capacity.
Faith, then, is not pretending everything is fine. It is learning how to stand steady when nothing is settled. Scripture defines it as “confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see” (Hebrews 11:1). That means faith often looks like continuing to show up, continuing to pray, and continuing to obey before there is proof.
There is a deeper layer to this, too. Believing in the impossible is not about willpower. It is about who God is. Jeremiah prayed, “Ah, Sovereign Lord, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power… Nothing is too hard for You” (Jeremiah 32:17). That is the foundation. God is not guessing. God is not struggling. God is not blocked by what blocks us.
What feels impossible to us is often the very place God chooses to work. Not because the situation looks promising, but because He is faithful. Even when the outcome is unclear and the timeline stretches longer than expected, He remains present and at work.
Reflection & Journaling
Where am I being asked to trust God beyond what feels realistic?
What am I tempted to label “impossible” because I cannot see a path yet?
What would it look like to stay faithful, even without proof?
Quiet Prayer
God, help me trust you beyond what I can see. Strengthen my faith when outcomes feel uncertain. Remind me that what is impossible for me is not impossible for You. I place my hope and my future in your hands. Amen.
