"No Problem!"

Last night, I went to check on my six year old daughter to see if she had fallen asleep yet. Even before I approached the door I could hear her talking to herself. When I opened the door she said, "Mom, I've been thinking about my party."

(She and her best friend have been discussing their "parties" for about six months now. Neither her friend's mother or I have ventured to ask "when" these little girls are planning on having them. These are things best left unasked, for as long as possible.)

"Yes Sabrina, what about your party?"

"Well, I want to have lots of people, but I don't know who."

I said, "Well, we'll write it down. We'll make a list, okay?"

"Ok, but what about invitations?"

I said, "No problem."

"And envelopes, we'll need envelopes for the invitations."

I said, "No problem."

With utter exasperation in her voice she said, "Why do you keep saying 'No problem!'"

I left the room chuckling because I thought that's just like us with God. We fret about problems to the point we can't even sleep and then finally talk to God about it. We explain the situation and He replies, "No problem." Skeptically we say, "But what about...?" And He still calmly replies, "No problem."

With a total lack of faith, we feel He obviously doesn't understand how difficult and complex the problem is because if He did He certainly could not answer with "No problem!" We would actually feel much better if He replied, "Boy, this is going to be tough, but I think I can handle it. I'll keep you posted."

Isn't it wonderful that God says in answer to all our problems, "No problem." And He really means it.

Matthew 9:28 "Do you believe that I am able to do this?"
Matthew 9:29 "Be it done to you according to your faith."

Dear Father, how amazing You are. I am so grateful that my problems are not problems to You.
