A lady from my church gave a project to our kids' choir this morning. She told them to go home and find, make, or borrow a box. They could even make it out of a Kleenex box. But when they had their box, they were supposed to write down things that they wanted or were praying for that they thought were impossible and put them into the box. Every time they think of something new, they should write it down and put it in the box. Then, at the end of a month or a few months, they should dump that box out onto their beds and read off their impossible prayer requests and see how many God had answered.
I have to admit, I don't pray for the impossible. Most times, I try not to consider the impossible. It's outside of my realm of expertise, so I leave it alone. I don't think that's the way I should go through life. My God is the God of the Impossible. So today, I'm making my Box of Impossibility. I'm going to start thinking and praying BIG. Because my God is BIG.
What are your impossible prayer requests? Find a box. Write 'em down. Share your impossible things with God.
