More Than We Might Ask Or Think

All glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.

Ephesians 3:20-21

Paul’s prayer of adoration is perhaps best summarized with one word: more. His praise rises to its feet in a standing ovation for the God he adores. To Paul, God not only is more mighty, he does more. We pray for a morsel, and he gives us a feast. We beg for the strength to get to first base; he answers with a grand slam. God answers our prayers with far more than we can ever dare ask or hope for.

Are your prayers characterized by the word more? More praise than just the usual? More trust in the infinite and almighty God? Let the glory of God expand your prayer today.

• Dear Lord, I praise you because you are able to do more than I would ever think to ask . . .
