God asks today just as He asked Jeremiah:
I am the LORD, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me? Jeremiah 32:27 NIV
The obvious answer is "no." There is nothing too hard for God—no thing. NO THING.
When we know that no thing is too hard for God, we should have faith in Him. Now let's go back and ask ourselves, knowing that we serve God who can do anything, "what would happen if I prayed?"
If you missed it before, here is it again with a few extras.
What would happen if I prayed . . .

Pray with me:
Father, You are God for whom nothing is too hard. You can do anything and everything good. I praise Your awesomeness. Because of who You are, I have faith in You. Because of who You are, I trust You. But I want to know You better. Thank You because when I pray, You and I are learning more about each other. Since You already know me so well, help me to look into my life and ask myself what would happen if I prayed. You know what's important to me. Help me to grasp hold of the possibilities of a culture of prayer. You know what motivates me. I open the door for You to enter and show me how important it is to pray and why I should pray. Change my attitude where it needs to be changed. Reveal to me the necessity of prayer in my life. Reveal to me the necessity of knowing You. Thank You for the great things that You are doing in my life –things that I could not even imagine. It's all because of what Jesus has done for me and in His name. Amen.
