Ephesians 2 ~ Praying God's Word

Please read Ephesians 2.

Meditate on verses 4-5.

But God, being rich in mercy,

because of His great love with which He loved us,

even when we were dead in our transgressions,

made us alive together with Christ. 

By grace you have been saved.

If you are a Christian, your life’s story is recorded in Ephesians 2.

Before believing in Jesus, you were dead in your sins. You walked a worldly course in accordance with Satan’s purposes. You lived in the lust of your flesh, indulging the desires of your flesh and mind. You were by nature a child of wrath.

But God ... because of His great mercy and love for you, when you were dead in your transgressions, made you alive together with Christ, raised you up with Christ, and seated you with Christ in the heavenly places.

Now you are God’s workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand for you to walk in. “Prepared beforehand” has the same connotation as “before the foundation of the world” in Ephesians 1:4. Before God said, “Let there be light,” He planned your purpose here on earth. He prepared the good works He desires you to walk in today before He started creating the universe. Ask God to reveal the good things He pre-planned for you to do.

Pray Ephesians 2:10 over yourself and those for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“Christ Jesus, You created and me in You
as Your workmanship.

Help us to walk in the good works which You

prepared beforehand for us to walk in.

For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
