Infinitely More Than We Ask or Think

“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.” (Eph. 3:20 NLT)

We often pray small, safe prayers — limited by what we can see, understand, or believe is possible. But God isn’t limited by our imagination.

Years ago, I prayed for God to open a door in my life — just a simple opportunity to serve and provide for my family. What He did instead still amazes me. Not only did the door open wider than I asked, but He brought unexpected blessings, new relationships, and growth in my faith that I never could have dreamed up. It was a clear reminder: God’s power is already at work in us, and He loves to do far more than we request or imagine.

The apostle Paul prayed bold, expansive prayers for believers — and then reminded them that God could still exceed even those.

If you’ve seen God surprise you with an answer before, you know this truth. If not, don’t stop praying. The limit has never been on His side.

Therefore,

Pray boldly today. Think bigger. Don’t hold back — bring your deepest needs and highest hopes to the God whose power is working within you. He is able to do infinitely more than you can ask or think.

“Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.” (Psalm 147:5 NIV)
