A Prayer for Spiritual Growth

Ephesians 3:14-20  (NLT)

¹⁴ When I think of all this, 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 empower you with inner strength through his Spirit.¹⁷ Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 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 is. ¹⁹ May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.

²⁰ Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.

Do you understand what this means?  It means that God can do anything.  It means that God uses us to accomplish His will.  And it means that he WILL use us to do far more than we can imagine- if we will just let Jesus take root in our hearts.  God wants us to pray big honkin' prayers and to dream big honkin' dreams.  Check out verse 20.  And get busy living the abundant life through Jesus Christ!

Because of Jesus,
