I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being. Eph. 3:20
I have been studying the "omni's" - God's Omnipresence, Omniscience and Omnipotence. These are those very great attributes of God that give us assurance that God is present, He knows what is going on and He has the power to do something about it.
It is because of God's omnipotence that Jesus can say, "Have faith in God. Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours." (Mark 11:22,24)
Nothing is impossible with God. He has the power to do whatever he wills. He has the power to change me, to change those around me and to change my circumstances. When we pray and believe this, we will have our answer. The answer may not look the way we envision, but we know that when we pray believing, God's power will be at work in us and will accomplish far more than we can ask or imagine. (Eph. 3:20)
May we pray along with Paul, that the eyes of our understanding would be enlightened in order that we would know the exceeding greatness of His mighty power that is working for us so that we can pray in faith believing that we have received whatever we have asked of God. (Eph.1:18,19)
The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:16
