Today was the second day of a three day young adult/youth conference we're attending at a local church. As we sing worship songs along with 400 similar-aged Indians, my heart overflows with gratitude-- this experience is beyond my imagination.
We are attending a Leadership workshop as a part of the conference. In our classroom, the tangibility of each Indian's rich belief lingers in the air and throughout their stories. They pray for seemingly impossible things (in my own mind) and see God provide in astonishing ways. One woman prayed for God to provide a specific amount for her yearly incentive (a one-time bonus) at work. When she actually received the bonus, it was less than she asked God for. Knowing that God is faithful to provide for what we ask, she went to her boss and discussed it with him. It turns out that the original amount she received was inaccurate. When she received the new amount, it was EXACTLY the amount she asked God for. (WOW.)
I was floored by the depth of her belief. So, I challenge you, as these Indians have challenged me, to consider what you may have deemed impossible and to ask God to provide it, remembering that He can and He will.

True that! I've put this into practice and already seen God provide in tremendous ways!
