Prayer for Strength

.
Day 6 . . . Ephesians 3
14 For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, 16 that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— 19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

This . . .
What a great prayer. The suggestion is, that if we pray this, God will do it.
.
That . . .
There are three basic types of prayer.
.
The first is worship. In this prayer, we proclaim to God who He is. He is good. He is holy. He is full of love and mercy. He is righteous. He is the one who created the heavens and the earth. He placed the stars in their places and seperated the water from the dry land. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and He is our God too.
.
A second type is the prayer of petition, where we ask God to give us our daily bread . . . to supply all our needs according to His riches in heaven thru Christ Jesus. It is hard not to dwell on this one, because we really are poor and needy.
.
The third is intercession and consists of praying for others. One persons prayers of petition are another persons prayers of intercession. This is where we cry out for God to rend the heavens and come down; to heal the sick; to break in with power and bring down strongholds of the enemy; to open the eyes of the lost and give them a moment of clarity to see their sinfullness, to see their need of a saviour, and to see that his name is Jesus.
.
This is that . . .
As I was praying earlier today, I began to list as many believers as I could think of and lost count after about 50. For all of those and whoever might be reading this . . .
I bow my knee to the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ who has been given all authority over all things, and pray that God would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man. God I pray that Christ would dwell in their inner man thru faith and that they would be rooted and grounded in love. Let them know, God, the love of Christ which passes all understanding and let them be filled with all the fullness of God.
I pray this with full expectation that you will do it because it is in the mighty name of Jesus that I pray.
And one more thing, God . . . me too.
AMEN.
