Scripture Reading
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.
Reflection
We often cap our prayers at the edge of what seems possible, but Paul reminds us that God operates beyond the boundaries of our imagination. This is not a promise of health and wealth — it is a promise that God's goodness cannot be out-asked. Pray boldly today, and hold those prayers with open hands.
Prayer for Today
Oh, king of us all.
I find myself standing before
your strength and splendor
watching, waiting
and filled with total joy.
You have lifted my mind in hope.
Now help me to open my life
the the coming of the Spirit.
I want to be like Mary, your mother.
Her wonderful courage and strength
inspire me to do the same.
She simply said Yes
and the impossible was done.
Thank you for this Advent journey.
The anticipation has filled my life
and made me long for
a closer relationship with you.
My life gets so busy that I forget to focus.
Thank you for guidance.
Thank you for the quiet moments
when I have felt your love.
Nothing will be impossible with God.
Guide my feet on the way of peace.
Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall come to thee, O Israel!
May the Lord bless us,
protect us from all evil
and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.
