Day 6: Get wisdom, riches, love, power, knowledge and faith

Today's reading — Ephesians 3:14-21

I LOVE this section! It's a prayer — a beautiful, amazing prayer full of hope, love, power, knowledge, faith, fulfillment and riches. Can you imagine anything better? Paul covers everything in this prayer, and just reading it through once brought a smile to my face and joy to my heart.  

What would happen if we read this prayer every morning? Or memorized it and recited it in our minds on the way to school every day? Would it change your outlook? I'm willing to try it. God holds these as promises for you, as Paul says, He is able to do "immeasurably more than we ask or imagine" (verse 20). How? Using power that's at work in us, verse 20. And we thank Him by giving him the glory, verse 21. 

Want to print it out? Here you go. May it bless you richly today and beyond! 

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.
