Pondering on the verse of the day, I notice the pronouncement of Paul, the benediction. First he talks about the capability of the Lord. He says, now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.
When I pause here, I don't believe anyone
can piece together words like that in any literature better than that. He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think!
All that I'm complaining about, all that I'm asking the Lord about, He's doing much more. And He knows so much more.
And it's according to the power that is working in us. The word working is the word energy. According to the DUNAMIS, the power that is energizing in us.
And then the creed concerning the Lord in the next verse ( Ephesians 3:21). Unto him be glory in the church in Christ Jesus into all ages, world without end. Amen.
Just by these verses, Verses 17 through 21, you get that sense and understanding that Paul knows who Jesus is!
Yes, Jesse, this verse should bolster our faith knowing that God is able to do all that we ask of Him inn prayer and does so much more that we fail to ask Him for. It is good to remember how much greater He is than anyone else and be assured that we will have our prayers answered in the best ways and that God is absolutely greater and more splendid than we can even know in this life.
Look what we have to expect for now and to look forward to in eternity!

He's able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
"According to the power that worketh in us".
A verse for all ages.
Thanks and God bless.
