April 4 Praying for You

Ephesians 1:15 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, 16 I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, 18 having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,19 and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might 20 that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, 21 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
 
WITH Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians, I pray for you: “Heavenly Father, because I have heard of your people’s faith in the Lord Jesus, and because I know how much they love all those in your church, I continually give thanks for each person receiving these words. I pray I remember them in my prayers, so that you Father, the glorious God of our Lord Jesus Christ, may give to each one a spirit of wisdom to reveal Jesus more fully. Give each one eyes in their hearts to clearly see and know the hope to which you have called them. Awaken each person to know the rich and glorious inheritance of life eternal. Give them grace and power to experience the immeasurable greatness of your power you freely offer to them. Teach them to believe in your great power you worked in Christ when you raised him from the dead. Help them to understand and believe you seated Jesus at your right hand in the heavenly places. Yes, for them, you seated Jesus far above all to give him all rule and authority and power and dominion. In your power, Father, you have given Jesus the name that is above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come. Thank you, that Jesus is Lord over all. I pray in his name he is Lord over each one receiving this. Amen.”
 
Thank you for praying for our family. I’ll continue with Ephesians on April 21.
