Occasionally someone will say to me, "I don't know how to pray for so-and-so." The Scriptures give us many prayers to pray for one another, and among them is Paul's prayer for the Ephesians found in Ephesians Chapter 4 - in italics below.
We can pray this for ourselves, that we might know the fullness of God, and we can certainly pray it for one another. Are we praying it for our family? Our coworkers (in context)? The families in our churches?
Who can you pray this prayer for today? Right now?
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
