Good Morning All!
Ephesians
3:20; “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”
In
the Bible, many people dreamed to. Isaac
and Rebekah dreamed of a child, so did Hannah and Elizabeth. Samuel dreamed of a godly king. Ruth dreamed of a husband. Many people dreamed of something that they
longed for. They hoped for something;
they held the desire in their heart. Yet
these had one more element; they prayed for God’s help and answer.
Maybe praying to be an astronaut might
have been a stretch (but then maybe not); yet we do not often pray for God’s
help. We may think we are unworthy; we
may think that what we pray for is not important to God. Maybe we doubt that God can or wants to
answer our prayers. Whatever the reason,
we often miss out on one of God’s greatest blessings. Yet when we pray in a faithful fashion, God
promises to hear and to answer our prayers.
We hear that over and over in the Bible; Matthew, Luke, John are just a
few that repeatedly tells us to ask or to call upon his name. So, do we?
Look at our verse, far more than we ask or
think. God wants to bless you far more
than you can ever imagine. He wants you
to call upon his name and trust that he will answer. He wants you to be happy, he wants you to be
content; yet we continue to falter, and we continue to miss out on his
grace. Too often we look too short and
fall even shorter. Yet God continues to
invite you to call upon his name and to ask of him.
The promise of answered prayers; the
promise to work in us and through us.
God’s love for us exceeds anything we can ever imagine or dream. Yet we limit ourselves because we limit our
faith. We have God’s promise to answer
our prayers beyond anything we could ever dream or imagine, and we turn away
from it. Trust God, have faith in his
promise to you. Receive his blessings
for your life.
Dear Father, your mercies are new
every day. Forgive us when we fail to
call upon your name. Forgive us when we
fail to trust in you fully. Give us the
faith to trust you. Give us the holy
desire to seek your blessings. Keep us
close to you send your spirit of comfort to those who are in the most need of
your comfort. In Jesus’ precious name we
pray, amen.
God’s
Peace,
Pastor
Bret
