Paul’s Prayer
Posted on December 27, 2023 by Elizabeth Welte in Victory Call
Today you get a break. I want you to sit back and think about someone you would like to bless today through prayer. Okay, did you think of someone? I took some liberties with one of Paul’s prayers so you can just fill in the blanks. What can be more powerful than praying God’s Word back to Him? You already know it’s true and according to His will. What could be better?
Ephesians 3:16-21:
Lord, I pray that You would grant ____, according to the riches of Your glory, to be strengthened with might through Your Spirit in his/her inner man, that Your Son Jesus may dwell in _______’s heart through faith; and that he/she, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height – to know the love of Jesus Christ which passes knowledge; that he/she may be filled with all Your fullness. Thank You Lord that you are able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that I ask or think, according to the power that works in me. Lord, may Your name be glorified in the church because of Jesus Christ to all generations, forever and ever, Amen.
Blessings for a day of peace.

Think About This: “…the Christian life requires a continual turning away from sin. But it also requires constant faith, for the Christian daily looks to Christ for loving care. The penitent believer never stops trusting in the saving power of the crucified and risen Saviour.” ― Philip Graham Ryken
