A Prayer Acknowledging the God of Power

When we consider the greatness of our God, even our greatest problems begin to look small. Isaiah 40:12–31 reminds us that the God who measures the oceans in His hand, calls every star by name, and rules over the nations is the same God who gives strength to the weary and power to the weak. Nothing is too difficult for Him, and no obstacle is beyond His ability to overcome. This prayer invites us to recognize His unlimited power, trust His wisdom, and learn to move in step with His Spirit. As you pray, ask the Lord to give you a greater revelation of who He is and what is possible through His power working in your life. If this prayer encourages your faith, please share it on social media or send it to someone who needs to be reminded that our God is mighty and able!

Prayer

O mighty God, You’re more than capable of delivering Your Kingdom to us! Answering our prayers is easy. Praying to You is the best thing we can do. You’re the creator of the universe and the shaper of Earth. You’re the endless source of knowledge, understanding and wisdom! All the power man has accumulated in the nations, You can blow away like dust. All the false gods and idols are just imaginary powers and they provide no help to mankind. You’re the only God enthroned above the Earth. You have no equal, there’s no one to compared to You. I’m amazed You watch every move of Your people! You never get tired of being attentive to my life or to all the lives of Your saints. You give strength when we’re weary. You empower Your people when we are weak! When we wait on You, we have the full resource of who You are in our corner. Soaring over every obstacle and running with Your energy is just the norm when we move with You. Give us full revelation of our potential and power when we cry out to You. Give us the will to seek You and the patience and courage to move when You move in the name of Jesus I pray, amen.

Isaiah 40:12-31

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, or with the breadth of his hand marked off the heavens? Who has held the dust of the earth in a basket, or weighed the mountains on the scales and the hills in a balance? Who can fathom the Spirit of the Lord, or instruct the Lord as his counselor? Whom did the Lord consult to enlighten him, and who taught him the right way? Who was it that taught him knowledge, or showed him the path of understanding?

Surely the nations are like a drop in a bucket; they are regarded as dust on the scales; he weighs the islands as though they were fine dust. Lebanon is not sufficient for altar fires, nor its animals enough for burnt offerings. Before him all the nations are as nothing; they are regarded by him as worthless and less than nothing.

With whom, then, will you compare God? To what image will you liken him? As for an idol, a metalworker casts it, and a goldsmith overlays it with gold and fashions silver chains for it. A person too poor to present such an offering selects wood that will not rot; they look for a skilled worker to set up an idol that will not topple.

Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood since the earth was founded? He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in. He brings princes to naught and reduces the rulers of this world to nothing. No sooner are they planted, no sooner are they sown, no sooner do they take root in the ground, than he blows on them and they wither, and a whirlwind sweeps them away like chaff.

“To whom will you compare me? Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.

Why do you complain, Jacob? Why do you say, Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord; my cause is disregarded by my God”? Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.
