Blessing and Struggle
Nothing happens for our blessing without a struggle. To understand that, we need to look at the Cross. Not even God could redeem us without His own suffering and death.
In Gethsemane Jesus pled: “If it be possible, let this cup pass from me.” He was asking if there was anything in the eternal order of things that would allow for an adjusted pathway of delivering mankind from destruction. But His perfect humanity continued, “Nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.”
He settled on what He knew to be the divine order: Without the shedding of blood there is no remission of sins. God invites us to bring our struggles and fears to Him, even as we accept His will.
Prayer Is Invading the Impossible

About this Plan
Pastor Jack Hayford points the way to the life-changing pathway of praise. No matter how you feel, praise will shape what your experiences will become. When doubts come, praise God that His Word will never fail you. When fears taunt, praise God that His presence never leaves you. When questions arise, praise God that His wisdom holds every answer. Praise leads you to the One who assures peace beyond strife, hope beyond trial, joy beyond sorrow, and life beyond all.
