Ephesians 1:16-17
16-“I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17-I keep asking that the GOD of our Lord JESUS CHRIST, the glorious FATHER, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know Him better.”
Ephesians 1:16-17 reminds us to be thankful and to pray for spiritual wisdom and revelation. Paul's prayer for the Ephesians is a powerful example of seeking deeper understanding and connection with GOD, urging us to similarly call upon Him for wisdom and discernment.
This Bible passage highlights the immeasurable power of the LORD and the riches of His inheritance in the saints. This is a call to prayer, asking for deeper understanding, clarity, and insight into GOD’s will and character.
Let us also pray, recognizing the importance of seeking GOD’s guidance in our lives. Let us ask the LORD GOD to enlighten our hearts, giving us a deeper understanding of His love, His divine power, and His glorious inheritance in the saints (Ephesians 1:18-19).
Prayer:
LORD GOD, the FATHER of glory, I pray that You may grant me a spirit of wisdom and revelation, a deep and intimate knowledge of You, that the eyes of my heart be enlightened, that I may know and understand the hope to which You have called me, and the richness of Your glorious inheritance in the saints…that I may know and understand the immeasurable and unlimited greatness of Your power demonstrated in the working of Your mighty strength, through CHRIST when You raised Him from the dead and seated Him in the heavenly places, far above all rule, authority, power and dominion, and every name - in this age, and the one to come. LORD You placed all things under Your feet and have appointed Your Son, CHRIST JESUS, to be head over all things, and to the church, which is His body: the fullness of Him…in HIS Great and Glorious Name. Amen.
