Ephesians 1-3
*Click here to read this passage:
Paul’s prayers for the church in Ephesus:
“I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in
order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his
glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who
believe.” (1:18-19)
“I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with
power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your
hearts through faith. And I pray
that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with
all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep in the love of
Christ, and to know that love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled
to the measure of all the fullness of God.
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, to him be glory in
the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever!
Amen.” (3:16-21)
I’m praying the words of Paul today over and over … for myself,
for people I know, for my church as well as The Church of all believers. I’m praying that we would truly get it … that we would
understand just how much He loves us.
I’m praying for eyes to be open to the hope we have in Him. I’m praying that God would reveal to us
His power and that He’d get the glory for the things He does. He’s always working in and around us,
but so often we credit it to fate or chance or just ignore it completely. May we see His hand moving and give Him
thanks for it. I’m praying for
increased faith, bold unshakable faith, believing in Him for amazing things,
knowing that He can do more than we can even imagine.
He’s so good. He’s so
powerful. His love for us is
indescribable.
Lord, open our
eyes today that we may know and grasp these things about you and to be
strengthened in our faith and filled with your presence.
