Praying with Paul: 'Speaking in the Spirit'

Ephesians 5:15-20

Dear Father,

Help me speak to my spouse, my family, your church, and the world about you and your grace.

Let my heart and my mouth overflow with the music of praise - psalms and hymns and spiritual songs - as I sing and make melody in my heart to the Lord.

Fill me with constant thanksgiving to you for everything. In the name of the Lord Jesus. Amen.
