* God of Wonders

Lord, you are a God of wonders, of miracles! Nothing is too great for you, “I think about things you did and consider your deeds. God, your ways are holy. No God is as great as my God. You are the God who does miracles; You have shown people your power!” (Ps. 77:12-14). Oh God, help me to see your wonders ACTIVELY present in my life each and every day. Let me see your miracles, your Hand—may they be the norm in my life. I believe you—I believe in you; I believe you are capable to do far more than I have seen yet because I have believed little yet. But God, I believe you are capable of all things. “Oh Lord God, you made the skies and the earth with your very great power. There is nothing too hard for you to do” (Jer. 32:17); “All things are possible for the one who believes” (Mark 9:23).

Lord, unleash your power within me to accomplish all things you would have me to do, all things you would allow me to do—may I be wholly and faithfully yours, submitted to your will and your work in my life that you may manifest your anointing and power in me to serve you. “We are not saying that we can do this work ourselves. It is God who makes us able to do all that we do” (2 Cor. 3:5); “We have this treasure from God, but we are like clay jars that [merely] hold the treasure. This shows that the great power is from God, not from us” (2 Cor. 4:7). May I be an empty jar that my jar may be filled to overflowing with your great power. Use me to show reveal yourself to the nations, to point others to my all-powerful, all-loving, all-holy, all-merciful God that they may know you. Give me greater faith—I want faith like Abraham. I want to be able not only to see you part seas in my life, but to walk on waters with you and have faith enough not to sink! I know I have everything I need, everything I desire to have in you you have given me when I became your child. You are my all-powerful God who has plans and desires for me, for the world, larger than I can even fathom. Help me to learn how to tap into the power of your Holy Spirit that you have given us (John 14:15-17; 15:26). “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior” (Judges 6:12). Make me a mighty warrior for you—be with me, help me to do more for you than I could ever do on my own, to know you more than I could ever comprehend.

Give me the faith to believe you not only for the wonders and miracles I ask of you, but for the wonders and miracles you want to display that my human mind cannot even fathom to ask for. “With God’s power working in us, God can do much, much more than anything we can ask or imagine” (Eph. 3:20). Show me your glory (Ex. 33:18-20)—as much as I can handle without falling over dead—may I see your holiness so much that I am paralyzed with awe.

I ask that you would use me in the world today to show the world your greatness, your love and power, your wonders and miracles! “If you ask me for anything in my name, I will do it” (John 14:14). LORD, I m yours. Use me—give me greater faith than ever encountered in humanity. Give me the boldness to ask BIG things of you in absolute confidence. “In [Christ] and through faith in Him we may approach God with freedom and confidence” (Eph. 3:12). Lord, I am amazed by what you have done, who you are, and I believe you are capable to do ALL you say you can do. I claim this prayer for my life: “Lord, do great things once again in my time; make those things happen again in my own days. Let me see and experience your wonders bigger than I can comprehend happen in my life and in this world!” (Hab. 3:2)
