"Is anything too hard for the Lord? I will return to you at the appointed time, next year and Sarah will have a son." Genesis 18:14 NIV Bible
This post has nothing to do with having children. It has to do with nothing being too difficult for the Lord God! It has to do that for many, many years, I would pray and ask the Lord God to help "me" loose all my extra weight. It wasn't until I had prayed this after many years of dieting, to no avail, loosing a little, but gaining more back, and I said, "Lord, I give up! I can't do it and if You want me to loose weight, You'll have to do it Yourself, because I can't!"
Actually, I wasn't expecting anything to happen from this prayer, that ended up turning my whole life around! For it was that very same day, that the Lord God took away the urge to eat sweets, and excessive amounts of food, as if to fill in the hole of my sagging self-esteem. I had been turning to food all those years for comfort, and it became a false god, instead of turning to the Lord God! He allowed the loss of over 80 pounds and for the vast majority of that weight to stay off for over 30 years.
I think it's because I always wanted God to help "me," instead of giving up control and turning it over to His very capable hands. I think it's the first time I let Him be in control, in my life, instead of me wanting to be in control. Nothing is too difficult for the Lord!
