God is Able!

Do you ever just grieve over the state of other people's circumstances? I get so overwhelmed at times as I pray for or even think about people who seem to be in long-enduring hardships. I get very defeated which in turn keeps me from actually praying for them...then I find it easy to forget God's power, his sovereignty (that spelling looks wrong!) and his compassion. I lose hope so quickly! Lately, I've been in this defeated state over things in my life as well as other's lives. Today though I received some incredible news!!! God actually did change the heart of a man and turned a very difficult situation around for a dear family. I knew it "could" happen but, it has gone on for so long that it became easy to think he "wouldn't" change it.
I really needed that bit of encouragement...the family involved needed it a million times more...but, I so appreciate that God showed me that He is able-that He will do what he has promised and his word is Truth! I am so thankful that God is at work in all our lives-as believers-and he will continue that work until the day of Christ Jesus!
