Prayer and Power

August 20, 2024

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.
Ephesians 3:20

 Recommended Reading: 2 Corinthians 9:8-10

The apostle Paul’s letter to the Ephesians has two parts: doctrine (chapters 1–3) and application (chapters 4–6). Paul summarized the first half in Ephesians 3:20-21 by reminding them of two topics he addressed earlier: prayer and power.

In Ephesians 1:17-18, Paul mentioned that he was praying for the Ephesians to know God better and to know the hope of their calling, their inheritance, and God’s power. In case the Ephesians thought that those goals were too lofty for them to ever attain, he reminded them in 3:20 that God is able to do even more than we ask for—“exceedingly abundantly” more. Why? Because it is His “power that works in us.” Paul chose the best words he could in praying for the Ephesians, but then told them that God is able to do even more than he or they could ask for because of His great power at work in their lives.

Pray as best as you are able, then know that God is able to do even more than you ask or imagine according to His power in you.

Christianity is the power of God in the soul of man.
