I’ve always known that faith can move a mountain. Well, i’ve always heard about it. I never really thought about it though,. I guess that’s because i’ve gotten pretty good at figuring out a way around my mountains, instead of asking God to move them. I never thought of asking Him to move them. I have always been criminally stubborn when it comes to me, myself and I. I can do this alone, I don’t need God’s help. I will move this mountain alone.
But as it turns out, mountains are heavy. Impossibly heavy. And sometimes they’re not only heavy, they are humungous, and I can’t see a way around them. So i’m stuck with nothing but trust. With nothing but faith. The bible says faith the size of a mustard seed and sometimes my faith is smaller than half of that mustard seed. I like to be realistic, and being realistic comes with a lack of belief in the impossible. But i read somewhere that God loves when we pray impossible prayers because when he comes through, it can ONLY be His doing, and He gets the glory.
So I have started praying impossible prayers, and asking for impossible things (like $15,800), and i have seen impossible things happen. And everyday, my faith upgrades to the size of a bigger seed. And my realistic, stubborn heart beats a little easier.
Because faith isn’t nearly as heavy to carry as mountains.
