Incomparably Great Power

A prayer for fear & anxiety, from Ephesians 1:18-21

Paul prays for people to grasp something specific: the same power that raised Christ from the dead is working for those who believe. That's the resource on the table when fear overwhelms. A prayer for eyes that can see it from here.

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. Ephesians 1:18-21 (NIV)

The prayer

Lord, open the eyes of my heart to see the hope I have in You. The same power that raised Christ from the dead works in me. Help me trust in Your incomparably great power when fear overwhelms me.

Make it yours: change any words that don’t fit, or stop at the one line that’s true today. Amen can wait until you mean it.

If this is where you are, these may help too
