Sarah’s story shows there is no time limit on the fruit of our faith—when we are weary, wondering if it’s time to give up on the hope God has laid in our hearts, God reminds us that He has already been faithful to every word and promise He has given by giving us His Son.

    I was struck by the Lord’s rhetorical question in Genesis 18: “Is anything too 1difficult for the Lord?” Sometimes when I pray I know that I ask out of timidity and with human limitations in mind. God might not always say “Yes”, but it is clear that nothing is too difficult for Him to accomplish. Therefore, our prayers should be filled with boldness. Even if He says “no”, we should not assume that will be the answer just because the “ask” seems impossible to us.
