Truth Quote by Mark Batterson
““Why do we mistakenly think that God is offended by our prayers for the impossible? The truth is that God is offended by anything less! God is offended when we ask Him to do things we can do ourselves. It’s the impossible prayers that honor God because they reveal our faith and allow God to reveal His glory.””

In simple terms: God wants us to trust Him with the impossible, not the easy.
Trust God with the impossible.
