Eph 1:17 [I keep] asking God, the glorious Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give you spiritual wisdom and insight so that you may grow in your knowledge of God.
Lord, I pray that you will bless us with spiritual wisdom and insight, that our knowledge and understanding of You, of Your will, Your ways, Your mercy and grace may grow. Give us wisdom and discernment as we go throughout our day, so that we might understand how to make choices that bring us more fully into Your will. Give us a heart to seek You, daily, hourly, moment by moment.
Eph 1:18 I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope He has given to those He called….
Lord, Surround us with Your light, Your hope. Help us to sit with each other in the darkness of life, reminding each other we are not alone, pointing each other to You, Your love, Your hope, Your light. Help us never to lose sight of how powerfully Your light shines, especially in the darkness. Help us to be flooded with Your light, with Your confident hope, regardless of our circumstances.
Eph 1:19a I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God’s power for us who believe in Him.
Lord, Thank You for this day and this reminder that You are with us. Thank You that no matter how weak we feel, Your incredible power lives in us, works through us. Help us to tap into Your Spirit, Your power as we point others to You. Draw us closer, Lord, as we walk each other home (R.Dass). Amen.
Eph 1:19b-20 …This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him in the place of honor at God’s right hand in the heavenly realms.
Have a blessed day.
My faith, my life, my teaching–it's all a work in progress.
