Growing in His Ways

Paul's Prayer ...
by Judy Glasser

Growing in His ways and mine.
I join with Paul today as he prays for us in Ephesians 3:14-21 (NLT),

“I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth."
You are awesome, Father.

“I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.”
Please give us your strength, Father.

“Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him.”
Make your home in our hearts, Jesus, and teach us how to grow our trust in you.

“Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong.”
Grow our roots, Father and keep us strong.

“And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.”
Please give us the power to feel the perfect love you pour out on us each day, Jesus.

“Then you will be made complete with all of the fullness of life and power that comes from God.”
Only you can make us complete, Abba. The power to live a full life comes from you.
“Now all glory to God , who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.”

We believe, Father, that you can do anything – things beyond what we can imagine – and that you want to accomplish your plans through us. We are your hands and feet on earth.
“Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever. Amen.”
Amen. Love you, Father.
