Summary

“Is anything too hard for the Lord?” Prayer is designed to transform our perspective from fear to trust, knowing that God has already prepared the way for us. Learn how to pray with confidence, rooted in your inheritance in Christ, and discover the beauty of responding to life’s challenges from a place of peace and joy.

Key Scriptures:

+ Genesis 18:14. "Is anything too difficult for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, at this time next year, and Sarah will have a son."

+ Deuteronomy 31:8. "The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed."

+ Hebrews 8:6. "But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises."

+ John 14:2. "In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you."

+ Ephesians 2:22. "In whom you also are being built together into a dwelling of God in the Spirit."
