A – APPLICATION – This is when we see how God is personally speaking to us. Is God specifically saying something to me in this passage? How can I apply this passage directly to my life? Do I need to make any changes in my life? Is there anything I need to do after reading this passage?
Do I believe that God is able to do more than I ask or imagine? When I struggle with prayers, hopes and dreams for my children, my family, my calling – do I allow God to powerfully work in me? What dream do I have that I need to boldly go to God with and trust Him to do immeasurably more than all I can ask or imagine?
P- PRAYER – Pray God’s Word. Take it deep into your heart and ask Him to help you live out His Truth. Use this time to confess sin He has revealed to you.
Lord you are all powerful. Thank you for the ways you work in my life. Help me to trust you to do more than I can ever ask or imagine. Lord help me move out of the way so that you can work in my life and the lives of my family. May we never stop thanking you and giving you glory for all that you do. In Your name I pray, Amen.
I would love for you to share in the comment section how God spoke to you through Ephesians 3:20,21.
In His Calm,
