Day 2: Prayer Is an Invitation
“Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” - Ephesians 3:20 (NLT)
One of the most important truths about prayer is this: prayer gives God permission to move. God is powerful, but He is also relational. He responds to faith. He steps into situations when we invite Him.
Many of us believe God can do miracles—we’re just not always sure He will. So we pray cautiously or safely. We pray prayers that don’t require much faith. But Jesus invites us to pray differently.
The Bible says God can do more than we ask or imagine—but notice the starting point. Ask. Prayer isn’t a last resort when everything else fails. It’s the first response of a faith-filled life. When we pray, we’re saying, “God, I’m not trying to do this on my own anymore. I’m inviting You into this situation.”
If you want to see God move in a greater way this year, it will start with praying bigger prayers—prayers that stretch your faith, prayers that say you believe God is still in control.
Today, think about one area of your life where you need God to move. Invite Him in. Pray boldly. Pray with expectation.
Take a moment to reflect:
Where have you been tempted to rely on yourself instead of prayer? What would it look like to invite God fully into that area again?
