Jeremiah 32:17. “Ah, Sovereign Lord, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and outstretched arm. Nothing is too hard for you.”
If you are facing crises in your present circumstances, do not lose heart. Know this with certainty: God is about to do something special. He desires to give you the most fundamental blessing—Christ, the answer to all problems. He desires to heal you by revealing His kingdom and to strengthen you through the power of the Holy Spirit. What appears to be an obstacle is often the very place where God intends to reveal His glory.
God has chosen you, and His calling over your life has not changed. He has definite plans for you—plans to lift you up and place you where your life will bear clear witness to Christ. Even now, God is preparing you for what He will accomplish through you and for the people He intends to reach through your life.
In the midst of a crisis, turn your heart to your Father. He is the Creator of heaven and earth, and nothing is too hard for Him. Jeremiah confessed this truth in the darkest hour of his times, declaring that God made the heavens and the earth by His great power and outstretched arm. When circumstances overwhelm you, begin with praise and thanksgiving for who God is, not merely for what you want Him to do.
Do not be shaken. Hold firmly to God’s covenant for your life. Be confident of this: He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:6). God’s grace does not fluctuate with your circumstances. His blessings remain constant.
Therefore, confess your faith in Him with thanksgiving. When you present your requests to God with gratitude, the peace of God—peace that surpasses all understanding—will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7). Thanksgiving is not merely a response to answers; it is an expression of trust in God’s sovereignty. Time and again, Scripture shows that thanksgiving releases God’s miraculous work.
You are a precious child of God. He has already given you everything you need to overcome the world. Because of this, you do not need to live in anxiety or fear. You have every reason to rejoice always, pray continually, and give thanks in all circumstances, knowing that God is at work in all things for your good (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Romans 8:28).
Align your life with God’s will as revealed in His Word. When you come before Him with a repentant heart, He is faithful and just to forgive your sins and cleanse you from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Remove from your life anything that slows you down or entangles you. Lay aside sin and burdens, and come daily to the cross where God demonstrated His immeasurable love through His Son, Jesus Christ (Hebrews 12:1-3).
Stop praying like those who do not know God. Start praying like a child who knows the Father’s heart. Learn to listen carefully to what God says through His Word, because prayer is not only speaking to God but responding to Him. When you remain in Christ and His words remain in you, your prayers align with His will, and God delights to answer (John 15:7).
Begin with the Word of God proclaimed at your local church. God communicates with His people through the servants He appoints. Receive the message with faith, meditate on it, and pray through it throughout the week. View every situation in your life through the lens of the Word God has given you, and you will begin to discern His guidance more clearly.
Establish a daily rhythm: today’s Word as God’s promise, today’s prayer as your response, and today’s evangelism as your mission. Ask for strength that comes from above, and surrender continually to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. This is how spiritual clarity, endurance, and fruitfulness are formed.
Finally, do not be discouraged when answers seem delayed. Believe in the covenant of the Lord: whatever you ask for in prayer, believing that you have received it, will be yours (Mark 11:24). Your Father will not withhold what is truly good for you. He is faithful, attentive, and perfectly wise in His timing.
Prayer. Father, nothing is too hard for You. I thank You for the privilege of coming before You in the name of Jesus. I trust that You desire to give me what is best. I choose to stop worrying and to start believing. Thank You for hearing and answering my prayers according to Your perfect will. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
