Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us… Ephesians 3:20
Almighty, Steadfastly Loving God,
How often we forget
that we are praying to an all-mighty, all-loving God!
Because we are so weak in our faith and hope,
Paul prays that we will have the strength
to comprehend and contain
“the breadth and length and height and depth”
of the love of Christ (Ephesians 3:13).
You have already done
“far more abundantly than we ask or think”
by filling us with your fullness in the love of Christ.
Now give us the power to imagine you
working in the “impossibles” of our lives:
impossible temptations,
impossible relationships,
impossible health struggles,
impossible ceasefires.
May we trust you
with all of our impossibles
and may you receive
all of the glory in Christ
for all of your goodness to us.
In Jesus’ loving name we ask. Amen.
Read Ephesians 3:14-21.
