One of the Holy Spirit's prayers for us can be found in the first chapter of Colossians.
'...that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; STRENGTHENED WITH ALL POWER, ACCORDING TO HIS GLORIOUS MIGHT, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light.' [Colossians 1:9-12]
The literal translation of the phrase His glorious might is actually THE MIGHT OF HIS GLORY!
We are His temple, and as the temple of old was filled with His glory, so are we! Jesus said
"The glory which You have given Me I HAVE given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one; I IN THEM AND YOU IN ME, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and LOVED THEM, EVEN AS YOU HAVE LOVED ME.
"Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, BE WITH ME WHERE I AM [ref Eph 2:6], so that they may SEE My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.' [John 17:22-24]
That glory has might [Gr. kratos]—force, strength, power, mighty with great power, dominion—and according to, or by, that might we are STRENGTHENED WITH ALL POWER!
Then there's the Holy Spirit's prayer for us in Ephesians 3...
'For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be STRENGTHENED WITH POWER through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be FILLED UP TO ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD.
Now to Him who is able to do FAR MORE ABUNDANTLY BEYOND ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THT WORKS WITHIN US, to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.' [Ephesians 3:14-21]
Now that's power, and that power is how He does far more abundantly beyond ALL that we ask or think.
