Praying in love...

Praying in love....

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 Lord’s holy people, 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.

Ephesians 3:16-21

As I reread this passage today, I pictured this man kneeling or standing with with outstretched arms, praying with joy and exuberance for these people for whom he desired so much...filled...rooted...established...strengthened...faithful...loved...knowledgeable....

Do I stand or kneel with such heartfelt words, praying for those whom God has graciously laid on my heart...

Thank YOU for the picture, the words, the reminder for diligence in prayer...
