Prayer for Spiritual Strength

This passage is yet another example of what our prayers should consist of. It is filled with humble boasting in God. I love verse 20: "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." Our God is able to do FAR more than we can ever ask or think to ask. How amazing and exciting! He knows us better than we know ourselves and knows how limited and finite our minds are. In His love for us He goes beyond what we could imagine, so that we might bring glory to His name and love Him more. We can't fully comprehend the work and love of Christ and we never could have conjured up the idea of a savior that would/could do what Christ did. Our God is a GREAT God and He gives us the strength to live worthy of His calling. Christ is interceding on our behalf perfecting our praise and prayers! Lord, may I pray in faith and with hope. May I be earnest and seek with all my heart knowing that you are Great and in Your steadfast love with strengthen me and do more than I ask, because You are good! I will boast in Your Great Name! There is nothing that compares to Your love for me. May I never lose the awe and wonder of that marvelous truth. Let not my sin cloud my vision, but let me daily reflect on power that is at work in me! Amen.
