For Your Name's Sake

Father,

Until now I believe we have asked you only to do those things that we can handle in our own.

I am afraid to be overwhelmed in thinking that I have to carry the burden of all that you might do in your love.

Please give us a vision of what you want to do that is so great that it is too much for us! But also, please give us the grace to be able to trust you with the moment by moment of it. For your name's sake.

Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. (1 Peter 5:6-7 ESV)

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21 ESV)
