Day 7: Now Dream Even Bigger

If we’re honest, one of the reasons we don’t pray as much as we should is because sometimes we don’t believe God is going to answer our prayers.

In the beginning, most Christians believe God can do anything. But along the way, it can be easy to lose that faith. If you’ve been let down or experienced some tough times, it can be difficult to still dream with God.

But that’s what we’re called to do!

What if this year was the year we got our hopes up again? What if this was the year we started believing that God can actually heal, move, and change our lives? And, most importantly, what if we started fasting and praying like that was true?

In Ephesians 3, Paul drops to his knees and prays for his friends. Watch how he ends the prayer: “Now to Him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us” (Ephesians 3:20).

Paul went through a lot of trials and a ton of hardships. However, along the way, he never stopped believing that God could do immeasurably more than he could even imagine. Let’s join Paul and get our hopes up for what God can do during these 21 days and this entire year.

Prayer: Father, would You increase my faith? I want to believe that You really can do immeasurably more than anything I could think or imagine. I want to believe that You are big enough. Would You show me just how loving You are this year? In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
