Ephesians 1:17-20

Dear Father, God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory.

Give me a spirit of wisdom and of revelation so that I may truly know the Savior.

Let the eyes of my heart light up with comprehension, that I may know how vast is the hope to which you have called me!

May I come to know how truly boundless are the riches of your glorious inheritance that you have in us, your special people.

May I understand to its depth how immeasurable is the greatness of your power in us who have put our trust in you.

My Father, I have put my trust in you. I am one of your special people! Lift up your Son in my heart! Work powerfully in my life!

In the name of Jesus I come. Amen.
