4 Verses to Read When It Looks Impossible

Life sometimes brings us face to face with situations that seem far too big for us to handle—mountains that won’t move, battles we can’t win, or prayers that feel unanswered. In those moments, we need to remember that what looks impossible to us is never impossible for God. His Word reminds us that He is bigger than our circumstances and stronger than our fears. Here are four verses to strengthen your heart when the road ahead looks impossible.


1. Luke 1:37

“For no word from God will ever fail.”
Every promise God makes is certain. If He has spoken it, He will bring it to pass.


2. Matthew 19:26

“With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”
What you cannot do, God can. His power knows no limits.


3. Isaiah 41:10

“So do not fear, for I am with you… I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
When you feel too weak, God promises to hold you steady with His strength.


4. Exodus 14:14

“The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still.”
When the battle feels overwhelming, you can rest knowing God Himself is fighting on your behalf.


Friend, when the situation looks impossible, remember this: God is the God of the impossible. He makes a way where there seems to be no way, and His promises never fail. What feels like a dead end to you is the perfect place for Him to show His power.

Whisper this prayer today: “Lord, I cannot see the way forward, but I trust that You can. Strengthen my heart to believe that nothing is impossible with You.”

Take courage—your impossibility is God’s opportunity to reveal His glory.
