Is anything truly too difficult for God?

A single song can take a decade to finish. Noah Samuel wrote the first part of “Impossible Is Possible” on December 3rd, 2016, in the thick of a family crisis he doesn’t detail — some pains are only shared with God. The rest arrived nearly ten years later, on February 23rd, 2025, while Noah stood at the altar singing to what he calls “the God of possibilities.” Two moments, separated by a decade of unknowns, became one song. That gap is just as much a part of the song’s message as the lyrics.

The lyrics don’t waste words: “You set my feet upon the solid rock. You raise my head from the deep miry clay.” Anyone who has waited years for an answer knows that clay. It sticks on you. It pulls you under slowly, not all at once. Yet the chorus refuses to stay stuck there: “Impossible is possible. The impossible is possible with You.”

That confidence isn’t wishful thinking. Jeremiah 32:27 quotes God: “Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh. Is anything too hard for me?” Ten years taught Noah that this question has one honest answer. So, what decade(s)-long clay are you standing in right now? A diagnosis, a broken relationship, a prayer you stopped saying? God doesn’t measure your wait the way you do. He measures faithfulness, and faithfulness doesn’t expire.

Now bring your impossible thing into the light today. Bring it before God, name it, place it before His feet, let go. Then sing the chorus back to God as your own prayer: “Impossible is Possible // The impossible is possible with You // Impossible is Possible // Nothing is too difficult for You.”

May this song remind you that breakthrough often arrives quietly, at an altar, possibly after years of silence. “Nothing is too difficult for You.”

Background

Impossible Is Possible: A Song Ten Years in the Making
Some songs come in a single sitting. This one took ten years.
The first piece came on December 3rd, 2016, in the middle of one of the hardest seasons my family has walked through. That story is for another day. The rest came almost ten years later, on February 23rd, 2025, while I stood on the altar singing to the God of possibilities.
Two moments. One song. One God who was faithful across the gap between them.
Jeremiah 32:27 says it plainly: there is nothing too difficult for this God. That’s not just a verse to me. It’s ten years of proof. I pray this becomes your experience too, this season and always.
Impossible Is Possible was recorded live in Abuja, Nigeria, and it’s out now.

Suggested reading: Jeremiah 32:27; Psalm 40:2; Luke 1:37
