Prayer three twenty – exceeding abundantly above all we ask or think

My life is busy. So is yours. Sometimes, we get too busy to pray. Therefore, it is a good idea to set a prayer alarm for 3:20pm. Then take a moment of your day to go to the Lord in prayer. If you think you can ask more than Jesus Christ is capable of doing, remember Jesus Christ is the Creator and the same power that raised Jesus Christ from the dead lives in you.

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 (Ephesians 3:20)

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think. In thinking of God it is as if we thought of space – however far our conceptions may travel, there is still infinity beyond. Paul had asked much in this prayer, and thoughts can always travel beyond words, yet the excess of God’s power beyond both was infinite. This excess is denoted by a double term of abundance (ποιῆσαι ὑπὲρ πάντα and ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ), as if the apostle wished to fill our minds with the idea of absolute infinity of gracious power in God.
