It seems all too often we are told that we have limited options—limited income, limited choices, or limited possibilities for our lives. It can seem, too, that the older we get, the greater the limitations we face.
This reminds me of a conversation I had with a dear friend many years ago. She was very discouraged over some personal issues. Things became so desperate that she saw no hope or resolution to her problems. She described her prospects as things either staying the same (which were really bad), getting worse (which seemed likely), or taking legal action and in the process almost certainly losing everything that was important to her.
I told her that God had ways to help that perhaps she had not thought of, and that prayer would reveal those ways. Being engulfed in the challenge, she disagreed with me and refused to believe things could get better. But they did get better in ways she had not realized could happen.
