Ephesians 1 prayer

The New Testament brings a new way to pray...

Paul shows us how in Ephesians 1:17-23 (I have personalized it from the KJV).

Now go on ... pray it over yourself!

God of our Lord Jesus Christ, Father of glory,

give unto me the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him

The eyes of my understanding being enlightened

that I may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,

Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come

And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church (Don't be confused. Remember our post on "church" - here),

Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.

All in all!
