Praying for each of us...

Ephesians 3:16-21
16)  I pray that He may grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power in the inner man through His Spirit,  (17) and that the Messiah may dwell in your hearts through faith.  I pray that You, being rooted and firmly established in love, (18) may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the length and width, height and depth of God's love, (19) and to know the Messiah's love that surpasses knowledge, so you may be filled with all the fullness of God.  (20) Now to Him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us -- (21) to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.  Amen. 

Along with the Apostle Paul, I pray this for you and I.

Father God, please grant us, according to Your riches in glory, strength in the very heart of who You have made us to be through Your Spirit.  Jesus, I know You dwell in my heart and I pray that for each one who reads this.  Father God, may we truly be rooted and firmly established in Your love - may we hunger for Your Word and thirst for Your righteousness to be evident in our daily lives.  May each of us truly grasp as well as we can this side of heaven the expansiveness of Your love for us and for those around us.  May it be more than a head knowledge, Lord, but a heart-knowing.  May it be such that Your love overflows from us to others because we are truly filled with all the fullness that You provide.    May we each know that we know that You are able to do above and beyond all that we can think to ask or imagine according to Your power and may we know that it is You that are working in us.  Forgive us for falling so often to our pride in thinking that we can handle things on our own.  Forgive us for seeking other people and things with more diligence than we seek to know You, Jesus.  Please God have Your way in us and receive all the glory from our lives.  Thank You for the Truth of Who You are!  In Jesus' Mighty Name, I ask it all.  Amen.
