I woke up this morning with such lovely warm feeling and thought of
various prayers ..that I had in my heart and one in particular that seems very big..and elusive...
Okay I'll name it! My novel ... and my pic book being optioned for film
I heard a voice inside say..that's impossible and right away the next voice said with God nothing is impossible
After the marriage discussion thread and my feeling of God being so close and holding and watching me....this devotion was in my inbox...I'm sharing
Answered prayer does not mean only the giant things...
For example..there is a grant for visual artists and it urges the artists to appy not only in crisis but to request ordinary things in ordinary time that the artist has no funds for ..I love that nothing is too minute or too gigantic for our God..it's all the same for Him and he delights in giving His children the kingdom

"For nothing is impossible with God" (Luke 1:37).
I walked into the doctor's office for my pre-opt visit. The doctor came in and told me all about my procedure of arthroscopic knee surgery.
"So, doc. I have been told this is pretty routine. If that is the case, I have a golf outing I am responsible for that is four days after the surgery. Is there any chance I would be able to play golf that soon?" I asked. "Not a chance," the doctor responded. "You need to let go of that idea. You will definitely not be able to play golf four days after surgery. It may be minor, but it is still surgery." I was disappointed, but I had resigned myself that I may have to host the event for my friend's 50th surprise birthday celebration as a spectator. Nevertheless, having no shame, I prayed anyway that God would let me play.
My day of surgery came and when I awoke I was given my crutches and greeted in the recovery room by my wife. "How are you doing?" she asked. "I feel groggy, but pretty good." About thirty minutes later, she wheeled me out to the car and I used the crutches to get in the car. The next day I noticed I had no soreness or discomfort. I questioned whether I had even had surgery. But the three incisions and photographs assured me it had taken place.
By that afternoon, I could put all my weight on my right leg without discomfort. I put away the crutches and began walking unaided. The doctor called from the hospital to inquire about my progress. Angie answered the phone. "Is he supposed to have soreness and pain from this procedure?" she inquired. "Oh, yes. He should be pretty sore and experience some pain," said the doctor. "Well," she said. "He has no pain and no soreness. He is walking like he has never had surgery!" "That is hard to believe," said the doctor. "In fact, that is incredible!"
The next day, I could go up and down steps with full weight on my right knee. Then, only four days after surgery--I played 18 holes of golf for my friend's 50th birthday celebration. The day after the golf outing, I awoke with no soreness and no pain.
Do you need something special from God? "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God" (Phil 4:6-7).
Nothing is impossible through God!
