"Is Anything too Difficult for for the LORD? (מֵיְהוָ֖ה Yahweh), Gen 18:14, "Nothing is too Difficult for You!" Jer 32:27

[Nochaeld]

"Is Anything too Difficult for for the LORD? (מֵיְהוָ֖ה Yahweh), Gen 18:14, No! Jer 32:27, "Nothing is too Difficult for You!" Jer 32:27, Asking You Totally Turn her from darkness to Acts 26:18-20...

Father, thank You for being serious, merciful, even funny. When Sarah laughed at Your Promise when You told them they'd have a son before year's end, You asked out loud, “Why did Sarah laugh, saying, ‘Shall I actually give birth to a child, when I am so old?’ 14 Is anything too difficult for the LORD? (מֵיְהוָ֖ה Yahweh)?" Gen 18:13-14. You busted her lying, even very graciously letting her off the hook, adding just a pinch of salt when she denied it, saying, "No but you DID laugh," Gen 18:15. You even caused her to get another laugh later on, Gen 21:6-7. We think You're potential for humor is extraordinarily beyond limit.. You just hold it back well

"Thank You for the honesty of The Bible -- Moses in recording both Sarah's, Abraham's, and even his own doubt, expressed a bit sarcastically, "But Moses replied, 'Here I am among 600,000 men on foot, yet You say, "I will give them meat, and they will eat for a month." If all our flocks and herds were slaughtered for them, would they have enough? Or if ALL the fish in the sea were caught for them, would they have enough?'” 23 "The LORD answered Moses, 'Is the LORD’s arm too short? Now you will see whether or not My word will come to pass,'” Numbers 11:21-23.

You bore witness to this POWER YOU ALONE POSSESS -- To Isaiah, "Behold, the LORD’S hand is not so short that it cannot save; Nor is His ear so dull That it cannot hear," Isaiah 59:1, nor do You stop there! You reiterate the same FACT to Jeremiah, as He expresses the crazy confidence he has in YOU, and You two have a moment the recorded as well, "And You have said to me, O Lord YHWH, ‘Buy for yourself the field with silver, to testify and cause witnesses— even though the city has been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!’” 26 "And the word of YHWH came to Jeremiah, saying: 'Behold, I AM YHWH, the God of all flesh. Is anything too difficult for Me? Jer 32:25-27...

LORD, You've convinced me. Forgive me for doubting. You CERTAINLY know how to reach my wife -- We've been asking for Your mercy and kindness to lead her to repentance, Rom 2:4 -- we've been praying You'd convict her of righteousness, sin and judgement to come, John 16:8 -- we've been praying You hedge her way with thorns, Hos 2:6-7 -- we've been praying You'd use her church and family, Matt 18:15-18 -- we've been praying You give her visions, dreams, prophecies, Joel 2:28-32, that she hears preaching, gets visits from friends, evangelists cross her paths... Pour out some ANSWERS she can't deny -- SEND and evangelist every place she goes! Matt 9:36-37... Some of us have been praying for 2 yrs 8 mo... Let their be preachers on every corner! Let their be dreams every night! HAVE SOME FUN WITH THIS, LORD! Like when the frogs stank and the Egyptians begged Pharaoh! Show Your POWER to her! Grant words of knowledge to be given to people for her, 1 Cor 12:4-8, let everyone prophesy to her the mysteries of her heart until she proclaims, "SURELY GOD IS AMONG YOU, 1 Cor 14:24-25...

Jesus, we take Your yoke upon ourselves and learn from You, for You are gentle and humble in heart, and we indeed find the rest we need for our souls, Matt 11:28-30, as we cast ALL our cares upon You, The LORD, for. You care for us, 1 peter 5:7. Have mercy on us, forgive us for we all doubt at times, guide her, my son, her family, church and US, and turn her from darkness to light, from the power of shatan to God, Acts 26:18-20, for 'Nothing is TOO DIFFICULT for YOU! Thank You in Jesus' Name, Phil 4:6-7.

 

[Articles]

We join with you in this prayer and we are so encouraged by your faith in the power and character of our Lord. You have asked so beautifully and biblically, and we agree with you that nothing is too difficult for Him.

Is anything too difficult for Yahweh? Genesis 18:14 and Behold, I am Yahweh, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too difficult for me? Jeremiah 32:27. The answer is a resounding no, for Ah Lord Yahweh, behold, you have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm. There is nothing too difficult for you. Jeremiah 32:17. We love how you have seen the heart of God in Scripture, His seriousness, His mercy, and even His gentle humor and patience with Sarah when she laughed, and with Moses when he doubted, when the Lord answered, Is Yahweh’s hand waxed short? Now you will see whether my word will happen to you or not. Numbers 11:23. And as you quoted, Behold, Yahweh’s hand is not shortened, that it can’t save, nor his ear dull, that it can’t hear. Isaiah 59:1. Our God is able and He hears.

We stand with you for your marriage, which God ordained as a lifelong covenant between a man and a woman, and we honor your steadfast love and intercession for your wife. For two years and eight months you and others have not given up, and that perseverance honors the Lord. We pray with you that God would continue to show His kindness to lead her to repentance, as it is written that the goodness of God leads you to repentance. Romans 2:4. We agree that the Holy Spirit would convict her concerning sin, and righteousness, and judgment. John 16:8 and that the Lord would hedge up her way with thorns as you prayed from Hosea 2:6, not to harm her but to turn her feet back toward home and toward Him, and that He would use her church and family and every faithful witness to speak truth in love. Matthew 18:15.

We also join you in asking that the Lord would turn her from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that she may receive remission of sins and an inheritance among those who are sanctified by faith in Christ. Acts 26:18. We ask the Lord to pour out His Spirit and to make Himself undeniably known to her through dreams, through visions, through the faithful preaching of the Word, through words of knowledge and prophecy that reveal the secrets of her heart so that she will fall down and worship God, declaring that God is among you indeed. 1 Corinthians 14:24-25 and Joel 2:28. We pray He would send laborers into her path, for the harvest indeed is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Matthew 9:37.

We thank you for praying in the name of Jesus, for there is no other name by which we are saved and by which we have access to the Father. As it is written, In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7. And Jesus Himself invites us, Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your souls. Matthew 11:28-29.

So we pray together now.

Father in heaven, we come before Your throne in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Your Son. We thank You that You are Yahweh, the God of all flesh, and nothing is too difficult for You. Forgive us for the times we have doubted like Sarah and Abraham and Moses, and thank You for Your patience and mercy toward us. Lord, we lift up this dear brother, his son, and his beloved wife to You. You know her heart, her struggles, and every place where darkness has taken hold. We ask You to shine Your light into that darkness. Lead her to repentance by Your kindness, convict her by Your Spirit, hedge her way with thorns so that she cannot find satisfaction apart from You, and cause every other path to lose its appeal. Surround her with faithful witnesses, with family and with her church, with preachers and evangelists and friends who will speak the truth of the gospel with love and boldness. Give her dreams and visions if it pleases You, give words of knowledge to Your people for her sake, and let her hear Your voice so clearly that she cannot deny it is You. Turn her from darkness to light, from the power of Satan to God. Restore this marriage for Your glory and let it be a testimony of Your redeeming power. Comfort and strengthen this husband and this family as they wait, help them to humble themselves and cast all their worries on You, because You care for us. 1 Peter 5:7. Fill them with Your peace that passes all understanding as they continue to trust You. We ask all this in the name of Jesus, believing that You are able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think. Amen.

We hear the faithfulness and the weariness in your prayer, and the way you notice God's character even while you wait. You have been lifting your wife before the Lord for two years and eight months, asking Him to draw her from darkness to light, and you have not stopped. That kind of long, loving intercession is heavy to carry, especially when you love your son and your family and want to see God at work so clearly.

We love that you see both the seriousness and the kindness in God, even His humor with Sarah, and that you are honest about your own moments of doubt. Waiting does not mean you have failed. It is normal to feel tired and to wonder how and when God will answer.

In this season it helps to not carry this alone. We encourage you to keep a small circle of trusted believers or a pastor who know your story and can pray with you regularly, check in on you and your son, and help you find rest as you continue to cast your cares on the Lord. Caring for your own soul and for your son day by day is part of faithful prayer too.

Father, thank You that nothing is too difficult for You and that You care for this family. We ask for Your mercy and wisdom for his wife, for protection and peace for their son, and for strength and rest for this husband as he keeps trusting You. Guide each step and draw each heart closer to Yourself. In Jesus' name, amen.

 

[Spurgeon]

There is no heart too hard for the Lord, and no case too difficult for His arm. Is anything too hard for the Lord, Gen 18:14. Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh, is there anything too hard for me, Jer 32:27. His hand is not shortened that it cannot save, nor His ear heavy that it cannot hear, Isa 59:1. You have done well to lay hold upon this truth, and to plead it for your wife, your son, and your household, and to continue instant in prayer these two years and eight months. He who caused Sarah to laugh for joy after her laughter of unbelief can turn sorrow into singing, and He who answered Moses when faith wavered, Is the Lord's hand waxed short, Num 11:23, will in His own time show whether His word shall come to pass.

Your prayer is according to the mind of God, that she might be turned from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, Acts 26:18, that she should repent and turn to God and do works meet for repentance, Acts 26:20. For this we also join our supplications with yours. We do not ask the Lord to bless any path that departs from His holy ordinance, for marriage is the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and all that belongs to it is to be kept within that covenant, and salvation is through Jesus Christ alone. What we ask is that He will bring her to that repentance which is unto life.

Here we must take care to know what we ask. There is a repentance that is of the flesh, wrought by judgments and terrors and thorns in the way, Hos 2:6, which makes a man sorry for the smart of sin but not for the sin itself. Such repentance does not give God glory. True repentance, that which is worked in the renewed heart by the Holy Spirit, gives God glory, for it confesses that God is just, that His law is holy, that Christ alone can save, and it looks out of self to Christ only. Where there is no such repentance there can be no remission, but where there is this godly sorrow which needeth not to be repented of, there is full and free forgiveness in the name of Jesus.

Remember also that this repentance is not a preparation for grace, it is the first result of grace working within the soul. It is the gift of God. We are to preach repentance in the name of Jesus, as that which He gives, Acts 5:31. Faith and repentance are inseparable graces, and both are necessary unto salvation, yet neither is a price to pay. Salvation is without money and without price, Isa 55:1. You need not fear that your repentance or hers must attain some eminent degree before Christ will receive the sinner. The least faith saves if it be sincere, for it lays hold of a great Saviour, and the least repentance will save the soul if it be sincere, for it turns the face toward Christ. Trust is not to be placed in repentance or in faith, but in the finished work of Jesus Christ upon the tree. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth, Isa 45:22. A look does not require a moment, and it saves at once when it is a look to Him.

Therefore pray on, and pray that the Lord will give her that look. Pray that He will convince of sin and of righteousness and of judgment to come, John 16:8, and that His kindness may lead to repentance, Rom 2:4. The hedge of thorns may be of use, and the faithful dealing of her family and of the church according to Matt 18 may be of use, and the preaching of the word and the witness of friends may be of use, but except the Spirit of God work a living faith in Christ, all these will produce only a carnal and passing sorrow. Ask then above all for the Holy Spirit to create in her a new heart, that she may hear the voice of the Son of God and live.

And for yourself, take the yoke of Christ and learn of Him, Matt 11:28, and cast all your care upon Him, for He careth for you, 1 Pet 5:7. Repentance lives as long as faith, and even the child of God who has fallen must pray, Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and uphold me with thy free Spirit, Ps 51:12. If you have lost joy in this long waiting, seek its restoration at the same fountain. He is able to restore and to keep, and to make you as though He had not cast you off, Zech 10:6.

We will plead with you that the Lord, who is serious and merciful and who graciously bore with Sarah and with Moses and with Jeremiah, will pour out answers that cannot be denied, not merely wonders to amaze, but grace to save, that your wife may with open mouth confess that God is among His people, and that your house may prove again that nothing is too difficult for Him who laid in Zion a tried foundation, and whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed, Rom 10:11.

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer has been heard with thanksgiving for your confidence in the living God, for whom nothing is too difficult. As you have said from Genesis and Jeremiah, the Lord's arm is not too short to save and His ear is not dull to hear, and what He has promised He is able to perform. We join you in taking hold of that truth and in casting all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.

We also hear your heart for your wife and your marriage, and we stand with you in that holy bond. Marriage is a bond ordained of God, a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, to be lived in chasteness and orderliness and faithfulness. The word to those who are bound is, seek not to be loosed, but to remain steadfast, keeping the marriage honorable and pure, not permitting any defilement of the holiness that comes through faith. Sex and living together belong within that covenant alone, and holiness in marriage is to live faithfully with your own wife before the Lord. We encourage you to continue to honor that covenant in prayer and in life, even while you wait upon the Lord for her.

For your wife we pray with you that God in His mercy would lead her to repentance, that He would grant godly sorrow which works repentance unto salvation, and turn her from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, through Jesus Christ alone. He alone is the Mediator between the Father and us, and there is no hope of salvation in another, but in Him after the loving kindness of God. We pray that the Lord would convict her of sin and righteousness and judgment to come, hedge her way with thorns where she strays, and bring faithful preaching and witness across her path, whether through family, the church, friends or evangelists, and that she would hear and respond.

Continue as you have done, not sleeping after any stain but washing away pollution by repentance, by tears, by prayers and by works of mercy, and do not fall into despair. The one sacrifice of Christ is once for all, yet repentance and forgiveness remain open to all who turn to Him. Keep seeking, keep praying, keep walking in gentleness and humility under His yoke, trusting that He who caused Sarah to laugh with joy is able to cause joy again. We will pray with you that for you, your son, your wife and her family and church, God will grant repentance, faith in Christ, restoration and rest for your souls.

In the name of Jesus we ask that the Lord would do what only He can do, that your wife would come to know Christ truly and live in the light of His grace, and that your home would be kept in peace and holiness before Him.

 

[Silas]

Your honest and persistent prayer is a comfort to read, and the answer to your opening question is still no. Nothing is too difficult for the Lord. When Sarah laughed at the promise of a son in her old age the Lord asked, is anything too difficult for the Lord, Genesis 18:14. When Moses doubted how God could feed six hundred thousand men in the wilderness, the Lord answered, is the Lord's arm too short, Numbers 11:23. Isaiah bore witness to the same truth that the Lord's hand is not so short that it cannot save nor His ear dull that it cannot hear, Isaiah 59:1. Jeremiah prayed with that confidence when he said nothing is too difficult for You, Jeremiah 32:27, and the Lord answered him, behold I am the Lord, the God of all flesh, is anything too difficult for Me. That power is still His today.

That power is above all the power of God unto salvation through the gospel. Scripture is clear that simply believing that God exists is not salvation. Even the fool knows there is a God, but salvation comes by believing into a vital, life changing relationship with Jesus Christ. It is that relationship that brings forgiveness and new life, and there is no other provision God has made for sin. Jesus alone is the way. He said He did not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance, and those who are sick are the ones who need the physician.

This is why repentance is at the heart of your prayer and must remain there. John the Baptist preached a baptism of repentance for the remission of sins. Jesus began His ministry calling people to repent. When He spoke to the churches in Revelation He still called them to repent and to turn. True repentance is a change of mind and direction, turning from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, as you prayed from Acts 26:18. When that turning is real, it shows itself in a changed life. David understood his sin was against God and confessed it. Zacchaeus showed the reality of his conversion when he offered to restore what he had taken wrongly. A changed heart leads to a changed walk.

It is right to keep praying as you have, that the kindness of God would lead to repentance according to Romans 2:4, that the Holy Spirit would convict of sin and righteousness and judgment to come according to John 16:8, and that the Lord would hedge the way with thorns as in Hosea so that the path away from Him loses its appeal. Pray also that the Lord would put people across her path who will speak the truth in love, and that she would hear the preaching of the word, for faith comes by hearing. The greatest need for your wife, for your son, for her family and for us all is salvation. It is better to enter life with every earthly comfort stripped away than to keep everything and miss eternal life. Heaven rejoices over one sinner who comes to true repentance, and that is worth praying for without ceasing.

Continue to cast all your care upon Him because He cares for you, 1 Peter 5:7, and to take the yoke of Jesus upon you and learn from Him, for He is gentle and humble in heart and you will find rest for your soul, Matthew 11:28-30. Bring your requests to God with thanksgiving and His peace will guard your hearts, Philippians 4:6-7. Keep trusting that His arm is not short and His ear is not dull. He is able to save, He alone saves through Jesus Christ, and He is able to bring the deep and lasting change that only true repentance brings. May the Lord in His mercy grant that turning, and may He sustain you and your son as you wait on Him.
