Everything had been going well all day, and there were only two more classes remaining. My personal story had worked for every single class. For the younger grades, we had an amazing skit prepared. Without a doubt, Nathanwe were definitely ready for this kindergarten class. Until something very strange happened. Due to a scheduling mix up, my teaching partner and I were forced to solo in separate classes with no warning or time to prepare.

As I walked into the room with all the props for the skit, I realized that I had basically nothing else prepared for them. I couldn’t do the skit all alone. My personal story was very deep and would be extremely difficult to explain to a class of kindergartners. There was no turning back; I had to teach this class. I said in my heart, “God, I have nothing.” Praying the whole time for the Lord to help me, I went over the review from last week and the definition of gratefulness withNathan2_edited the kids.

At that moment, God gave me an amazing story to teach the children. By the end of the class, I was drained physically, but it didn’t matter. I was so extremely grateful to God for showing Himself strong in this situation. My God never fails, and I won’t either if I am relying on Him. “Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ’s sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong,” (2 Corinthians 12:10). One of the greatest things I have learned here at In The Gap is fully relying on God. He does all things well. He is all powerful. You and I can trust Him to do the impossible!

“But Jesus looked at them and said to them, ‘With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.'” Matthew 19:26

“The greatest tragedy in life is the prayers that go unanswered because they go unasked. Now here’s the good news: If you do pray, all bets are off. You can live with holy anticipation because you never know how or when  or where God is going to answer, but I promise you this: He will answer. And His answers are not limited by your requests. We pray out of our ignorance, but God answers out of His omniscience. We pray out of our impotence, but God answers out of His omnipotence. God has the ability to answer the prayers we should have prayed but lacked the knowledge or ability to even ask.” Mark Batterson
