The wonderful thing about praying is that you leave a world of not being able to do something, and enter God’s realm where everything is possible. He specializes in the impossible. Nothing is too great for His almighty power. Nothing is too small for His love.
Interpretation
Prayer opens the door to boundless possibilities, removing limitations of the earthly realm.
This quote by Corrie Ten Boom emphasizes the transformative power of prayer, suggesting that through it, individuals can transcend their earthly limitations and connect with a divine force capable of achieving the impossible. It highlights the idea that God's power is not only vast and boundless, but also intimately concerned with even the smallest aspects of life, encouraging believers to embrace both the grandeur and the minutiae of their requests in prayer.

What an encouraging thought that Jesus - our beloved Husband - can find comfort in our lowly feeble gifts! Can this be, for it seems far too good to be true?

Only by God?s grace have I made it to see today and only by God?s grace will I ever see tomorrow.
The price is certainly high for people who don’t know Christ and who live in a world where Christians shrink back from self-denying faith and settle into self-indulging faith.
