The Incredible Greatness of God's Power

 

I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.

—Ephesians 1:19-20 (NLT)

Omnipotent God,

Help me to grow in my understanding of the incredible greatness of Your power—which is at work in me and for me as a believer—and come to fully recognize that it is this same mighty strength that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at Your right hand in the heavenly realms!

Help me to know and believe that it is Your power alone—as given by the Holy Spirit and made possible by Christ’s redeeming sacrifice—that enables me to become everything You have called me be—and that apart from that I am powerless.

Help me to realize that in order to fulfill Your call to become more like Christ, I must continually draw from that unlimited resource of Your power within me—in humility and in willing obedience to Your Word, Your Spirit, and Your Will for me.

Help me forever to stand in awestruck wonder of Your power, knowing that it is that very same power—the power of Your love in action for all mankind—which is presently and actively at work within me.

Help me to grow in my understanding of the incredible greatness of Your power—which is at work in me and for me as a believer—and come to fully recognize that it is this same mighty strength that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at Your right hand in the heavenly realms!

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
