Oct 14 – Day 287. Exceedingly Abundantly. Ephesians 3.20-21

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. It emphasizes that the same divine power that creates and sustains the universe works within us, igniting our faith and enabling us to do greater things in the name of Christ. 

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.

Good morning, everyone! Welcome to another episode of EBC’s Prayer Podcast. Today is October 14th, the 287th day of the year, and we’re truly blessed to gather once again. 

I’m Dr. Victoria Haddad, the First Lady and Prayer Leader at Elyon Bible Church Apostolic in Salem, NJ. 

Let God arise and His enemy be scattered. For God will work wonders beyond our imagination.

Today, we will focus on Ephesians 3:20-21, which reads: “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.”

Let's pray and invite the Lord, for God’s presence extends beyond our surroundings, embracing all generations and culminating an eternal kingdom

Let’s pray

Dear Heavenly Father. Our Lord, God, and Savior. Father, we come before you today, filled with gratitude, honoring your holy name. You are the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, the One who was, who is, and who is to come. 

Father, you are our powerful God, and with you, all things are possible. There is nothing too hard for you. You spoke the universe into existence, you parted seas, you raised the dead, and you always worked miracles. 

Lord, during our prayer, we are reflecting on your word and believing that: “Now unto him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us. unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus, now and forevermore, throughout every generation and age, world without end. Amen.” 

Lord, thank you for the incredible gifts in the days to come. Thank you for protecting and guiding even when we face the challenges of life. Help us hold onto the belief that with your guidance, we can accomplish what may seem impossible. 

Father, your power knows no bounds, and your wisdom exceeds every expectation we could ever imagine. Your provision in our light and a testament to your greatness. Thank you for providing for our needs according to your riches. Even in times of doubt, fear, or uncertainty, your blessings reach far beyond what we can ask, think, or imagine. 

Lord, as we look back on the countless miracles you have performed, our faith is strengthened, and hope rises. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever. What you have done before, you can do again. And we believe you will do even greater things in the time to come for your glory, honor, and praise. 

Father, today, we humbly ask that you protect and guide us as we navigate life’s challenges. Give us wisdom to make good decisions, stand firm in every battle, be patient in every testing, and strength in every weakness. Let your Holy Spirit fill us afresh, empower us to walk in love, purity, boldness, and obedience to your will.

Lord, teach us to trust you completely, even when we do not understand the path ahead. Help us to surrender our burdens and anxieties completely at your feet, for you care for us. Your will peace guard our hearts and renew our minds for you are our Lord, Christ Jesus.

Father, we are also lifting our loved ones before you. Cover them with your mighty hands, protection, and keep them safe. Unit us with favor as with a shield. Heal everyone who is sick, comfort those who are mourning, provide for those who are in need of a miracle, and deliver those who are addicted to sin. Let your kingdom and your will be done in our lives as it is in heaven.

Lord, ignite a fresh start within our lives each day, and give us a passion to love everyone we encounter. Help us to hunger for more of your word and crave your presence. So, our lives can reflect your light, and through us, many will come to know you as their Lord and Savior. May your name be glorified throughout every generation, world without end. May your faithfulness reach throughout the ages to come and fill our hearts with reverence and deep understanding. 

Lord, thank you for another moment to pray. Help us to sincerely surrender to you. 

We are sealing this prayer in faith, believing that you will hear and answer our prayers according to your perfect timing.

In the precious, mighty, matchless name of Jesus Christ, we pray… Amen.

 Everyone, I want to thank each and every one of you for listening to this prayer podcast. Please have a wonderful day. By God's grace, we will pray again tomorrow.
