Ephesians 1 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Ephesians 1.

Meditate on verses 4 - 5.

Just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world,

 that we would be holy and blameless before Him.

 In love He predestined us to adoption as sons

 through Jesus Christ to Himself,

according to the kind intention of His will.

God chose you before He said, “Let there be light.” He set you apart to be faultless and blameless in Christ. He did it because He loves you, and it is what He wanted to do. In Christ, you are a chosen, holy, unblemished, loved child of God. Walk confidently in Christ as you meditate on those truths.

Paul wanted the believers in Ephesus to know those truths as well. He had heard about their faith in the LORD and their love for all the saints. Paul could not cease giving thanks for them and praying for them (Ephesians 1:15-16).

Ephesians 1:17-21 is the prayer he prayed. Pray that prayer over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“God of our LORD Jesus Christ,
the Father of glory,


give _______ and me
a spirit of wisdom and revelation
in the knowledge of You.


Let the eyes of our heart be enlightened,


so that we will know what is the hope of Your calling,

what are the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints,

and what is the surpassing greatness of Your
power toward us who believe.


Your power toward us is in accordance
with the working of the strength of Your might which You brought about in Christ when
You raised Him from the dead


and seated Him at Your right hand in the heavenly places,

 far above all rule and authority and power and dominion,

and every name that is named,


not only in this age but also in the one to come.

 In that name, Jesus~”
