Today is: “Impossible Day!” Why Not?

I was chewed out for posting this at Ft. Greely in 1973:
“We, the unwilling, led by the unknowing,
are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.
We have done so much, for so long, with so little,
we are now qualified to do anything with nothing.”

I lift discouraged and disappointed family members and friends who are estranged to YOU LORD. I pray that YOU use each of us to be peacemakers with family and friend relationships. With YOU all things are possible and YOU specialize in restoring relationship. YOU loved each of us first and drew us to YOUSELF in YOUR perfect timing. 'There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. We love because he first loved us.' [1 John 4:18-19 ESV]
I hope and pray that you and I place our full trust in the LORD God. I pray that the LORD blesses each of us with discernment to focus our efforts to encourage and motivate those who depend on us as leaders, friends, and family members. 'Therefore, be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.' [Ephesians 5:1-2 ESV]
I pray for endurance, self-control, sense of purpose to serve as called to do so, for each adopted son and daughter of God who reads this prayer or hears this prayer. Strengthen our resolve to persevere with grace and demonstrate YOUR love to each person we interact with. ‘Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified. [1 Corinthians 9:25-27 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Tuesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Wednesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Impossible. I remember when we declared all sorts of things "impossible" that certainly turned out not to be when some decided to tackle them head on. The Communication devices on Star Trek (became our flip phones) and getting people out into space has become a reality. There was a time when a broken hip meant life in a wheelchair, but now replacement means a return to an active life. We're fighting and winning the battle against cancer and other deadly diseases; medical treatments improve almost daily. Running vehicles on electricity, natural gas, etc...all continue to improve when at one time, someone considered them impossible.
We've all had those things we thought we couldn't do but then somehow we did...feats of strength, endurance, leadership, scholarship; if we didn't try, we would never have made it. The first step toward making the impossible, possible is to believe and then to do it.

“Make the impossible possible today, tomorrow, and in the future. It’s a ‘mind-set’ and passion within you needs to be ignited. Don’t let your own thoughts of impossibility hold you back. That reminds me of this quote…
‘It’s impossible.’ said pride. ‘It’s risky.’ said experience. ‘It’s pointless.’ said reason. ‘Give is a try.’ whispered the heart.’ — Unknown Author
May your determination get you paste your fears and thoughts of failure and lead you to new possibilities; may your mind, body, and soul be opened to grace, goodness, peace, forgiveness, and a continued bountiful life of purpose; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, and healthy.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
