He can because He Is

I just spent some sweet time in my own personal journal. In case you were wondering, I am pro-journaling. I have been an avid journaler for some time now. It's a wonderful outlet for me personally to focus and organize my prayers and thoughts. Does anybody else get distracted praying? Of course, I would never replace journaling for praying, but doing both are very beneficial for me.

If you are not a journaler, I'm not projecting self-condemnation on anyone. I've said before and I'll say it again, it doesn't work for everybody and that is more than okay. You do what works best for you. This just happens to be my preference.

Tonight as I was listing some pretty serious prayer requests, I ended it by writing something I remember hearing Gregg Matte say in one of his sermons. I'll never forget it.

"Lord, I know you can, but I'm asking that you would."

God is able. He is limitless. He is all powerful. He can perform miracles. He can move mountains.

He can because He Is.

So I rest my requests with Him tonight, knowing He absolutely can, but asking that He would.

What is your would today?

Know that He can. Let's believe that He would.
