There is power in connecting to God. The more we connect, the more power we experience. The ultimate person is the creator of all and the one who sustains it all is God.
Think about it. What is too big and too much for our God? The answer is nothing and no one. When we believe this about God, we will want to connect with Him even more. Connecting to God is often through prayer, and you can connect in other ways, whatever you call them.
I leave us with one simple prayer from a letter that the Apostle Paul shared in Ephesians 3. The things that are in this prayer remind us of Godās character as well as His abilities.
Spend some time reading this prayer. If you feel led, use it as a prayer today.
Ephesians 3:14-21 NLT
When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, 15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into Godās love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all Godās people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. 20 Now 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. 21 Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
In these verses and prayer we are points to the things Paul shares before. In fact the first two chapters leading up to this form the reason for the prayer.
What leads you to pray?
What makes you desire more time with God?
What about God draws you closer to Him?
Paul closes this with a statement about God that I cannot get out of my mind. In fact I have thought this for decades. He is able to do more. More than I can think. More than I can dream. More than I can handle. And so much more.
Spend some time today with this prayer. Make it your own. God is able!
