Welcome to another daily prayer. Keep on praying. God will work wonders beyond your imagination.

Today, we will delve into the profound verses of Ephesians 3:20-21, which remind us of the incredible power and capability of God. The scripture states: “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.” 

These verses highlight not only God's ability to fulfill our needs but to surpass our expectations in ways we can hardly imagine.

The call to give glory to God through the church underscores our communal responsibility to reflect His greatness and let His light shine through our lives. This passage serves as a timeless reminder that God's presence and promise extend beyond our current circumstances, embracing all generations and culminating in His eternal kingdom. 

As we reflect on these truths, may we be encouraged to ask boldly and think expansively about all that God can accomplish in us and through us.
