Ephesians 3:14-19 (NIV)
14 When I think of the wisdom and scope of God's plan, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, 15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit. 17 And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God's marvelous love. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love really is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is so great you will never fully understand it. Then you will be filled with the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
These verses in Ephesians show Pauls affection for God and his love for the Ephesians. He knows God has a plan for their lives. Paul understands God's love for them and how deep that love goes. And he tells them that the love of Christ is so great a person cannot fully understand it. But in trying one will be filled with the fullness of life and the power that comes only from God.
We should take Paul's prayer and commit it to our own lives. First be humble and reverent to almighty God for his plan of salvation, and His greatness as the Creator of everything. Then pray that the Holy Spirit will give you mighty inner strength to face your daily spiritual battles. Next, ask Christ to help you trust in Him that He might become more and more a part of your heart, filling it more each day. Pray that God's love fills you from heart to sole, that it takes root and makes you grow as a Christian reaching out to others in Christ's name. Ask God for understanding to know Him, to know His love, to know the depth of his love for you. Pray for the power of Christ to bring you fullness of life. Don't wait on God, seek him out today in pray.
