More than we ask

God always does more than we ask.

Last week, as the ash was still settling form the firestorm, I gathered some leaders together to pray and respond. As we met, President Bush flew overhead in a helicopter to view the devastation in the neighborhood next to the church. He was there to see, understand, and offer help.

As we began to pray one of the leaders said, “God, the president just flew over our heads. But we are seeking help from a higher source.”

Whether it is the fires we have recently experienced, or any new struggle we face, what a comfort to know that the One we talk to in prayer controls the wind, waves, sea and air. He knows our needs better than we do. And His plans are much greater than we can even ask or imagine.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask… Eph 3.20
