a great prayer to pray (Eph 3:14-21)

An additional post today... this is one of those great prayers of Paul that is great to memorize so that you can pray it for others and for the church. I especially use verses 16-19 a lot, almost verbatim, as I pray.

(16) [May God] grant you to be strengthened with power
through his Spirit in your inner being,

(17) so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith -
that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
(18) may have strength to comprehend with all the saints
what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
(19) and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge,
that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

(20) Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, (21) to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
(Ephesians 3:16-21)
