Bold prayer

I found myself asking God during the closing prayer in our service to turn the difficult situations in our people's lives to impossible ones so that they would be required to act in faith rather than still trying to work on the things that only God can solve. I wonder, is that to far or is that just the type of prayer Jesus would be asking for His disciples? Should we ask God to move things to that point? How much time do we waste trying to solve what only God can settle? The man inside of me screams,"I can do it" while the child of faith wants to let it go. In Hebrews 4 it tells us that if we are to labor we need to "labor to enter into rest." I don't think I have the answer but I have to believe that God is willing to solve more than we let Him. Next time I want to go solve it, I might just ask God to make it so I can't and see what happens.
Just a thought

I must ask God to solve this turmoil in my heart. The demon that stands in my path keeps me from the church and God's word.

Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousnes and ALL these things will be added unto you.

The only thing we are to do is live seeking Him in order to know HIm more and more. Everything in our lives we leave in His hands for Him to handle and guide us through the answers. No matter how small or big. His job is to turn our problems into things that bring Him glory mine is to constantly seek Him and His rightousness. Jesus is our Sabbath rest so we seek and find Him from a position of rest and peace. When we try to handle it our way - no rest - no peace. Oh what life would be like and the glory He would get if we did it His way.
