Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,
Most of us pray small. We ask God for just enough to get through the week — a little relief, a little help, a little break. But this verse reminds us that God is not limited by our imagination. He can do far more than the biggest thing you've dared to ask for.
So today, bring one need to God that you've quietly written off as impossible. Maybe it's your finances, a job situation, a broken relationship, or a dream you shelved years ago. Don't filter your prayer down to what seems realistic. Ask boldly, and let God decide how much more He wants to do.
Notice the verse says His power is already working in you. That means you're not just waiting around for a miracle — you're partnering with one. Take the practical step in front of you: send the application, have the hard conversation, give generously even when the numbers feel tight. God's abundance often shows up through your obedience.
Here's a simple way to live this out this week: every time you catch yourself saying 'I could never' or 'there's just not enough,' pause and say, 'But God is able.' Shift your eyes from your limitations to His limitless power. You serve a God whose supply never runs dry.
Dear Lord, thank You that Your power is bigger than my prayers and Your plans are bigger than my dreams. Help me to stop asking small and start trusting You with the impossible. I believe You are able to do far more in my life than I can even imagine. Amen.
