“What is impossible for people is possible with God.” — Luke 18:27
We’ve all faced moments that looked completely hopeless.
Maybe it was a financial crisis.
A dream that seemed delayed too long.
A relationship that appeared too broken to mend.
Or a ministry door that just wouldn’t open—no matter how hard you knocked.
When Jesus said, “What is impossible for people is possible with God,” He wasn’t offering a feel-good platitude. He was giving us a foundational truth to build our lives and ministries on. He was reminding us that our limits are not God’s limits.
When the Odds Are Against You
Some of the most significant miracles in Scripture—and in life—happen when people run out of options:
- Moses had a sea in front of him and an army behind.
- David stood before a giant with only a sling and some stones.
- The disciples had five loaves and two fish for thousands.
- Jesus lay dead in a tomb—until He wasn’t.
God often waits until we’re at the end of ourselves so we can see it was Him all along.
A Worship Leader’s Reality
Over the years, I’ve had many times when I had no idea how things were going to work out. Helping a worship team with few resources… leading worship in a country where I didn’t speak the language… or walking through seasons of discouragement where I wondered what was going on.
But God has never failed me. Not once.
I’ve seen Him:
- Raise up musicians where there were none.
- Breathe life into dry bones—literally and spiritually.
- Provide finances out of nowhere.
- Heal what doctors couldn’t.
- Bring clarity when confusion reigned.
He is still the God of the impossible.
What To Do When You’re Facing the Impossible
Here are five steps I’ve learned when I’m staring down something that seems too big:
- Acknowledge the reality – Faith doesn’t deny the facts; it looks beyond them to God. Be honest with God and others about what you’re facing.
- Remind yourself who God is – Go back to Scripture. Read the stories of impossibilities turned into miracles. Speak truth out loud.
- Pray boldly – Don’t pray small prayers when you serve a big God. Ask for the impossible.
- Act in obedience – Even when it’s scary. Trust opens doors that fear keeps shut.
- Give thanks in advance – Praise is the language of faith. Worship before the breakthrough.
A Final Word
Whether you’re leading a team, raising a family, walking through a health scare, or waiting for provision—you are not alone.
What you can’t do, God can.
What you can’t see, God sees.
What you can’t fix, God can heal.
And what feels impossible? God specializes in that.
So today—hold on. Trust again. Pray again. Worship again.
And remember Jesus’ words:
“What is impossible for people is possible with God.”
