“Is there anything too hard for God?”

When you’re facing giants, the first step is to recognize and establish in your mind and spirit that God is bigger than them.
You don’t just examine the tip of the iceberg. It is important that you take the risk to dive and see what is lurking beneath. When you see it, you can tip that huge iceberg over.

When I decided to face my giants, they were bigger than I expected. They were harsher than I thought. They did not possess the human heart I believed they somehow had from the beginning. They tossed me, scared me, accused me, and gave me immense anxiety.

I looked back at the prayer of Hagar in the wilderness. I remembered that Hannah earnestly prayed for a son. I recalled how the Israelites crossed the Red Sea when God caused it to be divided, and how manna came down from heaven in the wilderness. When David asked God whether to attack the Philistines, God’s army moved ahead of him when he heard the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees.

So I prayed with broken thoughts. I came to the LORD with troubled feelings, not knowing what to make of these giants. I cried in anguish and fear. I questioned what went wrong, and to this day I have not found all the answers. I did not ask for perfect justice, but as the LORD impressed upon my heart, I embraced the idea that good will win; not necessarily me. For every good thing represents God.

I gained a sense of joy as I surrendered my turbulence. The heavy cloak of anxiety and uneasiness was lifted from my shoulders. Support came, in the most wonderful form of pure love.

Now I am ready to move ahead and finish this battle.
I am no longer alone.
