A Prayer about God Doing Impossible Things

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.
