Story Behind the Art
Our church memorized this passage together around 2005. I have used this prayer many times over the years. Previous to lettering this, I had focused on God's power to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or even think. Then I realized that the central them of this passage is not how God answers my prayers but that HE RECEIVES GLORY! This concept is the first request in the model prayer that Jesus gave - "Hallowed be Thy name". May each of our lives be TO THE PRAISE OF THE GLORY OF HIS GRACE, wherein He has made us accepted in the Beloved!
