Monday, January 30—Ephesians 3:16-19
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.
- pray that God will create in you a clean heart and renew a steadfast spirit within you, from which a life of obedience and delight will flow
- pray that God will more deeply root and establish you in love—love for Him with all your being, for your neighbor as yourself, for your brothers and sisters in Christ, and for those without God and without hope in the world
- pray that God would protect you from a superficial relationship with Him, and strengthen you with power through His Spirit in your inner being
- pray that God will stir us in the impossible mission of wonder and awe in tracing out the unreachable boundaries of His love for us in Christ
- pray that knowledge of Christ’s love will not only fill our minds, but fill our hearts, constrain our wills and compel our service and obedience
- pray that we will live more a life of power than of defeat and doubt
- pray that we would be filled with all the fullness of God, through Christ who dwells in our hearts through faith
