Prayers of Paul For The Ephesians

 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers - Ephesians 1:16.

               In Paul’s first prayer for the believers at Ephesus (Ephesians 1:15-23), he prayed that they know God better and to receive deep spiritual blessings. In Paul’s second prayer for the believers at Ephesus (Ephesians 3:14-21), he prayed that they experience the power of Christ’s love which surpasses all knowledge and to express this love toward one another.

For the spirit of wisdom and revelation to know God better

                  God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him - Ephesians 1:17.

To receive insight about the hope of God’s calling, His inheritance and His power

                  The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power- Ephesians 1:18,19.

To be strengthened in inner man

                    He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith - Ephesians 3:16.

To experience the love of Christ and to be filled with God’s fullness

                 That you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height - to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God - Ephesians 3: 18, 19.                                            

      

PRAYER: Dear Lord, Give us the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. Help us to grow more in the knowledge of You and to experience the power of Your love. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
