 We must begin to think like God thinks. The Bible says He's able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all we could ask or even imagine. Yet we pray prayers limited to our understanding. We pray prayers that are limited to our ability. While we might as well be praying to ourselves if we only pray prayers based on our power and ability. You're not praying to yourself. You're not just throwing out wishes and hopes. You're addressing the God of the universe who has the power to perform that which He promised.
