I believe we have all heard it--that phrase that states "with God all things are possible". We, being mortals, cannot always comprehend this concept. Zacharias couldn't comprehend it when an angel told him that his wife, who was well past child-bearing years, would have a son named John. However, Mary was faithful when an angel told her of the miracle that would take place within her. "And blessed is she that believed" says the scripture in Luke. Many times people, even faithful members, do not believe that a certain miracle can happen. They are forgetting that God can do anything. He who created the world and worlds without number, can grant any righteous desire so long as it follows His will. What does this mean for me? It means that I should never think that I cannot do something. If I want to bring sheep unto the fold by means of a mission, then I should pray for strength, guidance, and support to achieve my dream. The sky is the limit.
"A man’s mind should be single to the glory of God in everything that he starts to accomplish. We should consider that of ourselves we can do nothing. We are the children of God. We are in darkness, [unless] God enlightens our understanding. We are powerless, [unless] God helps us. The work that we have to do here is of that nature that we cannot do it unless we have the assistance of the Almighty. … Here is the great trouble with men of the world, and too much so with the Elders of Israel; we forget that we are working for God; we forget that we are here in order to carry out certain purposes that we have promised the Lord that we would carry out. It is a glorious work that we are engaged in. It is the work of the Almighty; and He has selected the men and the women whom He knows from past experience will carry out His purposes."
