When I think of the wisdom and scope of God’s plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, 15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit. 17 And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love. 18 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 really is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God. 20 Now glory be to God! By his mighty power at work within us, he is able to accomplish infinitely more than we would ever dare to ask or hope. 21 May he be given glory in the church and in Christ Jesus forever and ever through endless ages. Amen. Ephesians 3:14-21 (NLT)

Prayer

Father of Glory, Creator of everything in heaven and earth, from your glorious and unlimited resources, give us inner strength through your Holy Spirit. Give us a clearer revelation that Christ lives inside us by faith so that we can more fully trust Him and believe in what He has done, is doing, and will do for us. Let our roots go down deep into the soil of your marvelous love. Give us a greater revelation of that love – how wide and long and high and deep it really is. Let us experience that love even though we may never fully comprehend it with our minds. Fill us with the fullness of your life and power as we grow in the knowledge and experience of your love. I believe you are able to accomplish far more than I can ever ask for or imagine through your mighty power that is at work in my life. Father, may you be glorified in all things through my life, your church, and your Son Jesus Christ for all eternity! Amen.
