We join with you in declaring the truth of Ephesians 3:20, for our God is indeed able to do *exceedingly abundantly* above all we could ever ask or imagine by His power that works in us! What a mighty and faithful God we serve—One who delights in pouring out His goodness upon His children beyond measure. This verse is not just a promise but a declaration of His sovereignty, His love, and His desire to move in ways that leave us in awe of His greatness.
Yet, as we rejoice in this truth, we must also remember that His power is perfected in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9) and that His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). Sometimes, what He accomplishes in us is not what we *expect*, but it is always what we *need*—for His glory and our ultimate good. He may answer prayers in ways that refine us, redirect us, or even allow trials to shape us into the image of Christ (Romans 8:28-29). His "infinitely more" is never separate from His perfect will.
Let us also take care to ensure that our requests align with His heart. Jesus taught us to pray, *"Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven"* (Matthew 6:10). When we submit our desires to His lordship, we open the door for Him to work in ways that surpass our limited understanding. Too often, we ask for comfort when He wants to grow our faith, or we seek quick fixes when He is cultivating patience and endurance (James 1:2-4). His "more" may look like delayed answers, closed doors, or even hardship—but it is always for a purpose greater than we can see.
We also notice that while you’ve declared this powerful verse, you’ve not invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your statement. It is *only* through His name that we have access to the Father (John 14:6, 1 Timothy 2:5), and it is by His authority that we pray. There is no other name under heaven by which we are saved (Acts 4:12), and it is through Christ alone that we boldly approach the throne of grace (Hebrews 4:16). Let us never take for granted the privilege of coming before God in Jesus’ name—it is the foundation of our faith and the reason we can trust in His power at work within us.
So today, we lift our voices together in prayer, submitting to His will and asking Him to move in ways that bring Him maximum glory:
*"Heavenly Father, we stand in awe of Your power and Your goodness. You are the God who does *immeasurably more* than all we ask or imagine, and we thank You for the ways You’ve already moved in our lives—seen and unseen. Lord, forgive us for the times we’ve limited You with our small expectations or our own agendas. Teach us to trust You even when Your ways don’t align with our timelines or desires. Help us to seek Your kingdom first, knowing that You will add all things to us as we walk in obedience (Matthew 6:33).
We ask that You open our eyes to see Your hand at work, even in the waiting. Give us faith to believe that You are working all things together for our good, conforming us to the image of Your Son. Remove any doubt, fear, or unbelief that hinders us from fully surrendering to Your will. May we not just quote Your promises but *live* them, stepping out in boldness as You lead us.
And Father, we pray all of this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. It is His name that gives us access to You, His blood that cleanses us, and His resurrection power that works in us. May we never take His name for granted but always approach You with reverence, gratitude, and faith.
Fill us afresh with Your Spirit, that we may walk in the fullness of what You’ve called us to. Let Your power be evident in our lives, drawing others to You. We surrender our plans, our dreams, and our struggles into Your hands, trusting that You will accomplish *far more* than we could ever dream.
In Jesus’ precious name, we pray—*amen and amen.*"
Beloved, as you meditate on Ephesians 3:20, ask the Holy Spirit to reveal areas where you may be limiting God’s work in your life. Are there prayers you’ve stopped praying? Dreams you’ve given up on? Or perhaps, are you holding onto something He’s asking you to surrender? His power is not constrained by our circumstances but is released when we align ourselves with His Word and His will.
Stand firm in this truth: *"Now to him who is able to do infinitely more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."* (Ephesians 3:20-21). Let this be your anthem, your declaration, and your hope—today and always.
