Believing the Best Through the Worst
Your Nightly Prayer for Mar. 26, 2025

TONIGHT’S SCRIPTURE

"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

SOMETHING TO PONDER

I want to believe I will get better. I want to believe that I will feel strong again. Be able to help my husband, serve my kids, and not feel ashamed and embarrassed by my silent disability and chronic pain. I want to believe that this isn’t the way my kids will remember me. That I will be able to hold and to help with my grandbabies someday. To care well for aging parents. I want to believe none of my struggles will be wasted, that all perseverance pays off, and that the results and outcomes will be good. 

But wow, is it hard to believe sometimes.

What do you want to believe? Maybe it’s not a physical ailment that you’re praying through. But possibly you want to believe that better days are coming concerning something specific pricking at your heart, tearing down your body, and sitting heavy on your soul. Maybe you want to believe so badly that a circumstance or situation will turn out for the better somehow, that good will indeed come from the mess of what you see. 

And even if you can bring yourself to believe that good will come from the difficulties you face, like Romans 8:28 tells us, sometimes I think we can also agree it’s even harder to believe that the best—better than good—is possible. Isn’t it? You know, like Ephesians 3:20 says, “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.”

Immeasurably more, huh? That part can be really hard to believe. 

But maybe it’s time we start to. I’m starting to think we should. I mean, wouldn’t believing the best be a much more enjoyable way to live? Living like not only is all the hard stuff you’re handling going to turn out pretty good, but like it’s going to be better than you expected. Just writing this possibility swells hope in my heart. And the thing is, these words in the Bible are true. He is indeed able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine. And how does this truth make you feel? It makes me feel like I want to believe it. In fact, that’s what I’m choosing to believe today. And I hope you’ll join me.

Truly, I don’t know if my upcoming surgery will fix my back or heal my pain. But I do know, with God as my anchor, somehow, he will use my condition and circumstances to direct me, and others around me, to something so beautiful. Something I could never have dreamed up if I tried. And I know this also, if you keep your heart and eyes wide open, you’ll begin to see more evidence of a more beautiful story than you could ever have imagined too. From your valleys, trials, or long weary wilderness season, you can believe the best even through the worst.

Our God is all-powerful, all-loving, and he is working on something so much greater than we can imagine. Let’s hold tight to that truth together. 

YOUR NIGHTLY PRAYER

Abundant God,
You are the God of immeasurably more. I believe that you are good, even though I don’t always speak and live as if I do. Forgive me for my lack of belief. And reassure me of your almighty goodness. I long for confidence, hope, and belief, not only in your better plan, but in the truth of your plan for the best. A perfect plan that glorifies you. That is in the works right now and offers me joy and fulfillment. More than I could fathom. I praise you for blessing me with more than I could have asked, and I praise you that you are not done with me yet. You are mighty and worthy of all my praise.
In your Holy Name,
Amen.

THREE THINGS TO MEDITATE UPON

1. What good thing do you want to believe right now? 

2. How would it change your heart if you believed that God was not only working on something good, but something better than you asked or expected?

3. Spend a moment releasing the hope you’re holding onto to God, and thanking him for working on something immeasurably more than you can imagine.
