Ephesians 3:14-21
'When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 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. 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. 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. 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. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.'
Upward:
In this passage, Paul prays that from God’s unlimited resources (v. 16) we will become complete, full of life and power that comes from God (v. 19). We do not work for God’s love, peace, wisdom, etc., but from them. Meditate on God’s vast resources. Think on how he is making them available to you through Jesus by the Spirit.
Inward:
Position yourself either kneeling or by holding your hands in a position of surrender. God’s power, through his Spirit, strengthens us. God’s love made available through Jesus secures us. Yield to his Spirit. Receive his love. Check for any hesitation in your soul and surrender. Ask God to reveal obstacles that would keep you from rooting in his love.
Outward:
Ask the Spirit to reveal a person for whom you should pray this prayer over this week. Pray this prayer over them now and in the coming days.
