Beyond what we ask

God has set himself to do exceedingly above what we pray or even ask. In the example of Abraham, he asked and really prayed hard to be just a father of a son, but God had greater plans. To Abraham, this was the best he could ask from God, he really waited and waited not knowing the divine plan the almighty God had.

In our lives also, we have what we want God to do to us. We have our prayers, but from this example, we can derive that God is ready to do exceedingly above what we ask and pray for.

It’s true that at times we wait and wait for our prayers to be answered, but when it seems not to be working, we almost lose hope. However, when Abraham was praying that God should give him a son, he was getting him ready to be that father of all nations. He had not foreseen and when he was told to look at the sky and count the stars, perhaps he thought it’s a dream.

But in the real sense, that’s what God has in store for us.
