Ephesians 3v20-21

Now to him who is able to to immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, accoding to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

I have always liked this verse - it's the end of Paul's prayer for the Ephesians. He has asked for them to be strengthened with power, that Christ would dwell in their hearts, that they would know fully the love of God and that they may be filled up with Him. And then he finishes with this wonderful affirmation of how fantastic God is - how he can fill needs we have that we can't articulate or don't even know about. And he can do this with the power that is already at work in us! It's a verse that encourages me to pray because God will answer in ways that are far better than we can ask or imagine.
