Possible

"'Ah, Lord God!
Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth
by Your great power and outstretched arm.
There is nothing too hard for You.'"
Jeremiah 32:17, NKJV
 
The Almighty made it all.  He created everything out of nothing in the tick that started time, a moment before which was nothing except Himself, and after which was everything that came from Him.  In one single omnipotent act, generated by His sovereign will and carried out by His omnipotent power, the Lord God swept through eternity past with an outstretched arm and brought all creation into existence.
 
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.
 
David says He set the stars in place, numbered them, and called them all by name.  Isaiah says He did it by the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, and not one is missing.  Amos says He layered the heavens and the earth, from outer space to atmosphere to terrestrial sphere, from surface to geological strata to core.  David says that the heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork, that the sun and moon and stars do what He has told them to do.
 
If God did all that, don't think for one moment that He doesn't also know who you are, where you are, or what you need.  You, whom He made in His own image and after His own likeness, are the pinnacle of all creation, and God cares about you.  He is more than able and certainly willing to be your help and your hope.  There is nothing that is too hard for God.  With man, things are impossible, but with God, all things are possible.
 
He simply asks that we put our faith and our trust in Him.
 
If I can believe that the Almighty made it all, then I know I can believe He will take care of me.
