Pray this prayer every day for one year
16My heart is always full and overflowing with thanks to God
for you as I constantly remember you in my prayers. 17 I pray that the Father of glory, the God of our Lord Jesus
Christ, would impart to you the riches of the Spirit of wisdom and the Spirit
of revelation to know him through your deepening intimacy with him.
18I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of
your imagination, flooding you with light, until you experience the full
revelation of the hope of his calling—that is, the wealth of God’s glorious
inheritances that he finds in us, his holy ones!
19I pray that you will continually experience the
immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to you through faith. Then
your lives will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through
you! This is the mighty power that was released when God raised Christ from the
dead and exalted him to the place of highest honor and supreme authority in the
heavenly realm! 21And now he is exalted as first above every
ruler, authority, government, and realm of power in existence! He is gloriously
enthroned over every name that is ever praised, not only in this age, but in
the age that is coming!
22And he alone is the leader and source of everything needed
in the church. God has put everything beneath the authority of Jesus Christ and
has given him the highest rank above all others. 23And now we, his church, are his body on the
earth and that which fills him who is being filled by it! (Ephesians 1: 16-23
The Passion Translation).
Amen.
