For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. — Eph 3:14-19
A Guided Prayer For The Week.
Use the prayer below and verse above to soak in the truth you have been learning:
Our Father,
You have asked me to do a hard thing, to be strong. It is beyond me in every respect. But I know that you offer grace that strengthens. I proclaim, in faith, that the Spirit that was in Jesus is also in me. In His Name fill me with that strength. I want to be strong for my church and my family. I want to be strong for the ministry you have called me to. I want to be strong because the Night is dark and Jesus-followers must shine bright.
Father, I recognize that your strength will make me a target for evil. They will work to push me down but with your strength nothing can keep me down. Deliver me from that Evil. I look to your Spirit to do what is needed of me today, a devoted soldier- a disciplined athlete - a dilegent farmer.
To You do all the glory.
Amen.
