A Prayer for the Ephesians
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
Lord, I pray this passage back to you for these are the very things I desire for the Churches in Alpes-Maritimes department 6 here in Provence-Alpes- Cote d'Azur. Father, thank you for the privilege of praying for others. I know that you have created the Bride of Christ and we are one body. I pray that the local Churches in France will see the Holy Spirit move and work among them. I pray that with repentant hearts we will come before you ready and willing to be servants for your glory. Let the Churches in Nice and in other cities in this area show that in Christ we are different and that You have given our lives hope, peace, and joy. Let us live a joy filled life before others so that they will desire to know more and more about God. I praise you and bless your holy and precious name. I pray in the beautiful name of Jesus. Amen
