More Than We Can Imagine

God is able to do far more than we could ever ask for or imagine. He does everything by his power that is working in us -Ephesians 3:20 NIrV

We know that God can do amazing things because He created the world and everything in it. He put the sun, moon, and stars in the sky. He keeps the planets in space as they revolve around the sun, creating seasons and years. He keeps the earth spinning, so we have both day and night. God puts glowing rainbows in the sky and paints orange and pink sunsets.

He puts on a nighttime show with the Northern Lights when swirls of blue and green light dance across the sky. He makes the rain fall from the clouds and tells the wind which way to blow. There is no way we can count all the things God can do.

We can read in the Bible about what God has done in the past and is still doing amazing things today. Every snowflake that falls has its own design. The animals find food and water that God provides for them. And every newborn baby is a gift from God.

God does amazing things for you, too. He wants to help you with whatever you need. If you are struggling with a math problem, you can ask God to help you figure it out. God may send just the right person to show you how to work out that problem. If a friend gets upset with you, ask God to show you how you can get along better. If a loved one is sick, you can ask God to make that person well.

God always listens when you talk to Him, but sometimes, we must wait to see how God will answer our prayers. Just remember that God can do anything; sometimes, He does more than we can imagine or even think about!
