Ephesians 1:15-20 and 3:14-end – Paul’s Prayers for Spiritual Wisdom and Spiritual Growth.
Glorious Father, Adonai Elohim, I come before you LORD GOD, Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, asking that you bestow on your servant the Spirit of wisdom and insight so that I might grow in my knowledge of you, Adonai. I pray that my heart will be flooded with light so that I can understand the confident hope You have given to those You have called — Your Holy people who are your rich and glorious inheritance.
I also pray Father that I will understand the incredible greatness of YOUR power for us who believe in You. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at Your right hand in the heavenly realms.
When I think of all this Glorious Lord, I can but fall to my knees before You, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. In the mighty name of Jesus, Father, I pray that from Your glorious, unlimited resources You will empower your servant with inner strength through Your Holiness. May Christ make his home in My heart as I trust in You. May my roots grow down deeper into Your love and keep me strong; and may I have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep Your love love is, precious Father. May I experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then I will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that flows from Your Holy Spirit.
And now all glory to You Father, who are able, through Your mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to God in His Ecclesia, and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.
