If God did it before, he can do it again

Monday — Acts 4:23–31

Peter and John had been arrested, questioned, threatened, and told to stop talking about Jesus. When they returned to their friends, the church prayed.

But they didn’t begin by telling God how big their problem was. They began by remembering how big their God was.He made heaven, earth, the sea, and everything in them.

Then they asked for boldness and for God to do what only God could do.

What would change about the way you pray if you started by remembering who you’re talking to?

🎧 God, before I think about how big my situation is, help me remember how big you are. Give me confidence to bring you my biggest prayers.

Tuesday — Exodus 14:10–31

Israel had finally escaped Egypt, but suddenly Pharaoh’s army was behind them and the Red Sea was in front of them.

There was no obvious way out. No strategy they could come up with. No escape route they could create.

Then God made a way where there wasn’t one. He told the sea where to split, and it did.

You may not be able to see a way through what you’re facing right now. That doesn’t mean God can’t make one.

🎧 God, when I can’t see a way forward, help me trust that you can see what I can’t. I’m bringing you what feels impossible today.

Wednesday — Joshua 6:1–20

Jericho stood between Israel and where God was leading them. Its walls were massive, its gates were shut, and Israel didn’t have the power to bring them down.

God gave them instructions that probably didn’t look much like a battle plan. They obeyed, marched, shouted, and the walls fell.

Sometimes the obstacle in front of you is bigger than your ability to move it. That’s okay. Your confidence doesn’t have to come from what you can do.

What wall are you asking God to bring down?

🎧 God, help me obey you with what I can do and trust you with what only you can do.

Thursday — Ezekiel 37:1–14

Ezekiel sees a valley filled with dry bones, a picture of Israel after devastation and exile. God promises to restore his people.

First, the scattered bones come back together. But restoration isn’t the end of the vision. God breathes life into them, and they stand alive.

God wasn’t only promising Israel a return home. He was promising renewal, life, and his Spirit among them.

When something feels too far gone, remember: dead-looking situations don’t intimidate the God who gives life.

🎧 God, breathe new life into the places where I’ve lost hope. Help me believe that you can restore what looks beyond restoration.

Friday — Mark 4:35–41

The disciples knew boats. They knew the sea. And they knew enough to realize this storm was beyond their ability to handle.

Jesus stood up and spoke to it.

The wind stopped. The waves became still. And the disciples asked, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

That’s the question underneath our confidence. Not, “How strong is my faith?” but “Who is Jesus?”

The storm may be bigger than you. It isn’t bigger than him.

🎧 Jesus, when life feels out of control, help me remember who is with me. Grow my confidence in you, not in my ability to control the storm.

Saturday — John 11:17–44

By the time Jesus arrived, Lazarus had been dead four days. Martha even warned Jesus about what they would find when the stone was moved.

In everyone else’s mind, the story was over.

Jesus called Lazarus by name and told him to come out. And he did.

Sometimes we decide what God can do based on how final the situation looks to us. Jesus reminds us that our definition of impossible isn’t his.

What have you almost stopped bringing to God because you’ve decided it’s too late?

🎧 Jesus, you are Lord even over the things that feel finished. Help me trust you with the places where I’ve almost given up hope.

Sunday — Matthew 28:1–10

The stone was sealed. Jesus was dead. His followers thought the story was over.

Then Sunday came.

The tomb was empty. Jesus was alive. Death itself couldn’t stop what God was doing.

All week, we’ve remembered what God has done. Seas split. Walls fell. Dry bones lived. Storms became still. Lazarus walked out of his grave. And then Jesus walked out of his own.

So bring God your “one” today. If God did it before, he can do it again.

🎧 God, I remember what you have done, and I remember who you are. Help me believe you for what only you can do.
