I&#8217;m trying to help as best I can, but I am continually reminded of my own limitations.<\/p>\n<p>This is probably the biggest test of faith I have ever experienced. This situation is like climbing the Mt. Everest. It seems impossible!<\/p>\n<p>Having faith and believing God has taken on a whole other meaning.<\/p>\n<p>As doubt invades my consciousness like a cancer and a war wages in my heart, I feel impotent to make a difference.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t have money, I don&#8217;t have connections, I don&#8217;t have prestige.<\/p>\n<p>However, I am not the first, nor will I be the last, to help bring awareness or attention to a gross injustice.<\/p>\n<p>Patience is not one of my virtues. I want everything yesterday. This type of thinking comes with living and working in a fast paced city. A city where everything is dependent upon results.<\/p>\n<p>Day in and day out, I&#8217;m not seeing any results. It&#8217;s beyond discouraging.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll be honest, sometimes I want to throw in the towel and give up. But then I think, what if tomorrow is the day things change?<\/p>\n<p>I am an ordinary servant dependent upon an extraordinary God, who has the ability to change the impossible to possible in an instant.<\/p>\n<p>I would love nothing more than to see God move on this man&#8217;s behalf.<\/p>\n<p>But, what I&#8217;m learning the hard way is that it&#8217;s not going to happen when I want it to. It will happen in His timing, not mine.<\/p>\n<p>I am not in control, He is. I don&#8217;t call the shots, He does.<\/p>\n<p>I am a co-laborer with God. (<a href=\"http:\/\/biblehub.com\/1_corinthians\/3-9.htm\">I Corinthians 3:9<\/a>) \u00a0I just need to do my part and leave the rest to Him.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m desperate to prove this man&#8217;s innocence and have other&#8217;s see what I see. However, only God has the power to move on man&#8217;s hearts, open blind eyes and deaf ears.<\/p>\n<p>It is &#8220;not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit says the Lord Almighty.&#8221; (<a href=\"http:\/\/biblehub.com\/zechariah\/4-6.htm\">Zechariah 4:6<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>As I stand on a precipice of the impossible, I may not see the results, but God sees everything. He knows this man is innocent better than I do and in His perfect timing, justice will prevail.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s just a matter of time. When it does happen, may the Lord receive all the glory, honor and praise.<\/p>\n<p>Have you ever faced something that was bigger than you? A situation that seemed impossible?
