My Prayer for You... the Church.

"For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I 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 this 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."

I read this prayer written by Paul to Ephesian believers to our church this weekend. It is powerful and uplifting. It reminds us that our strength does not come from ourselves, but is given to all of us from God, Himself. Then we can watch God work beyond our imagination to do the impossible. I am so grateful we serve an amazing God. May I never take for granted the full capacity in which God wants to work through me and His church.
