Paul's Prayer ... and Mine
Paul prays for us in Ephesians 3 and I respond –
“For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and earth derives its name.” vs 14.
You are awesome, Father.
“I pray that out of his glorious riches he will strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,.. ” vs 16.
Please give us your strength, Father.
“so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.” vs 17.
Make your home in our hearts, Jesus, and teach us how to trust you more.
“And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with the Lord’s holy people to grasp how wide, and long and deep is the love of Christ…” vs 18.
Grow our roots deep in your awesome love, Jesus.

Please help us feel and understand the perfect love you pour out on us each day. Only you can make us complete, Abba. The power to live a full life comes from you.
“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,…” vs 20.
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 here on earth.
“to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” vs 20.
Amen. Love you, Father.
