For this reason, ever since I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God's people, I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray 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 his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also int he one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
~Ephesians 1:15-23~
So many rich requests in this prayer.
ReplyDeleteI want to memorize this prayer!
ReplyDeleteAmen! Ephesians 1:15-23 has been such an important scripture to help me pray for those who do not have a relationship with our Father! Like Michele, I want to memorize it. I wish I had memorized it in high school because I can recite everything I memorized for classes then!
