Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. — Ephesians 3:20 KJV
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us. — Ephesians 3:20 NIV
Very often in life, we set limitations on our dreams and prayers based on our own perceptions of what is possible. However, this verse challenges us to trust in God’s power, which far exceeds our own understanding and capabilities. It’s an encouragement to pray boldly and to dream bigger, trusting that God can transcend even the highest of my hopes and the broadest of our imaginations.
The phrase “according to his power that is at work within us” is particularly striking because it suggests that God’s mighty power is actively at work in our lives. This is not a distant, detached power, but one that is dynamic and present in each believer. It implies a deep, personal connection between our daily lives and the divine power of God. This is incredibly uplifting and empowering, as it assures us that we are not alone in our endeavors; God is intricately involved in the unfolding of our lives.
My Prayer
Heavenly Father, increase my faith that I may trust You more fully. Expand my vision and lift the limits I have placed on my prayers and dreams. Inspire me to ask boldly for what seems impossible, to dream greater dreams, and to imagine a future in Your kingdom without boundaries.
Lord, may Your power within me glorify Your name in all that I do. Let me be a conduit of Your love and a testament to Your greatness. Help me to live a life that reflects Your extraordinary capabilities, knowing that You are always working for the good of those who love You.
Thank You, Father, for Your promises and for the reassurance that You are always with us, empowering and guiding us. I praise You for being greater than anything I could conceive. In the precious name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
