“ I pray for you constantly”
Ephesians 1:16  

Ephesians 1:15-23 is a great prayer to pray for other people.   I hope you read it this week and pray it for someone else, believing that your prayer will result in exactly what the passage asks.  There are six things that Paul prays for the people in Ephesus.

 

1.       For wisdom and insight so that they may know God better

2.       That their hearts would be enlightened so that they can know the Good
          that God has in store for them

3.       That they know the power they have available to them, which is like the
           same power by which Jesus was raise from the dead

4.       That they know and rely on the fact that Jesus is right now reigning over
          all things.   He’s in control.   God’s got your back.  You can trust Him,
          even when the worst that can happen happens

5.       That the church, the gathering of believers,  is a powerful place, a place
          where, when you connect with others in it, is the most potent life changing
          force on the planet.  

Will you make this your prayer for others this week?
