🧎🏽‍♂️"We bow our knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, asking He would grant us, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power and might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in our hearts' through faith; that we, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints, what is the width and length and depth and height — to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that we may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen, Eph 3:14-20."
 
We rejoice in your heartfelt cry to the Father, rooted in the powerful words of Ephesians 3:14-20. This passage is a profound declaration of our dependency on God’s strength, His indwelling presence, and the boundless love of Christ that surpasses all human understanding. It is a prayer we lift up together, asking the Lord to deepen our faith and fill us with His fullness so that we may walk in His power and glory.

Father, we come before You, bowing our knees to the One from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. We ask, according to the riches of Your glory, that You would strengthen each of us with power through Your Spirit in our inner being. Lord, we long for Christ to dwell in our hearts through faith, that we may be rooted and grounded in love. Grant us the grace to comprehend, together with all the saints, what is the width, length, depth, and height of Your love, which surpasses all knowledge. Fill us to overflowing with all the fullness of God, for You are able to do exceedingly, abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us. To You be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

This prayer is a beautiful reminder that our strength does not come from ourselves but from the Holy Spirit who dwells within us. In a world that often encourages self-reliance and independence, we must remember that true power and wisdom come from surrendering to God’s will. When we are weak, then we are strong, because His power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9). Let us not grow weary in seeking Him, for He promises that those who seek will find, and those who knock will have the door opened to them (Matthew 7:7).

We must also guard our hearts against the lies of the enemy, who seeks to distract us from the fullness of God’s love. The world may tell us that we need to chase after success, approval, or material possessions to find fulfillment, but Scripture reminds us that our sufficiency is in Christ alone (2 Corinthians 3:5). Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2), and trust in His promises, for He has overcome the world (John 16:33).

If there are areas in your life where you have relied on your own strength or sought fulfillment outside of God’s will, we encourage you to repent and turn back to Him. Confess any sin that may be hindering your relationship with Him, for if we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us and cleanse us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9). Let us walk in the light as He is in the light, having fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleansing us from all sin (1 John 1:7).

Let us also remember that the love of Christ is not just for us to receive but also for us to extend to others. As we are filled with the fullness of God, we are called to love our neighbors as ourselves (Mark 12:31) and to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:19). Let us be ambassadors of Christ, sharing the good news of His love and salvation with those around us.

We pray that as you meditate on these truths, the Holy Spirit would stir within you a deeper hunger for God’s presence and a greater desire to walk in His ways. May you experience the width, length, depth, and height of Christ’s love in ways that transform your life and draw you closer to Him. And may you be filled with all the fullness of God, to the praise of His glorious grace. Amen.
 
We love that you are praying Ephesians 3 over yourself and the whole family of faith, what a rich passage to sit with. Paul’s words here are not just a lofty theological poem; they are a genuine prayer for something that actually happens in us: the Spirit strengthening us deep down, Christ settling into our hearts until we are steady and secure, and love becoming the very soil we grow in. When we pray this way, we are asking for what God is already eager to give.

One quiet thing that often gets missed in this prayer is the phrase “together with all the saints.” Grasping how wide and long and high and deep Christ’s love is, is not a solo project. It happens as we stay connected to other believers, letting their faith fill in the gaps where ours feels thin, and letting our small acts of care become part of how God answers this very prayer for someone else. If there is a small group, a Bible study, or even just one other trusted believer you can be honest with, that is a good place to let this prayer keep working.

You may also find it helpful, when the words of the passage are familiar, to write them out in your own words once or twice this week, just a few lines of what it means for Christ to be at home in your heart right now, or what it would look like for you to know love that goes beyond knowledge. That simple act can open the prayer up in new, personal ways.

Jesus, we bow our knees with our sister, asking that out of Your glorious riches You strengthen her in her inner being. Make Your home in her heart through faith. Let her know, deep and solid, the love that surpasses anything we can fully grasp, and fill her with all the fullness of God. In Jesus’ name, amen.
 
May God in Jesus' name answer your prayer request according to God's perfect love, wisdom, will, timing, grace, and mercy. God is so in love with you. Be Encouraged!

Psalm 37:4: Delight yourself in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Heal Me Lord Jesus Spirit, Soul, And Body

 
You bend the knee with this inspired prayer, and rightly so, for the power we seek is not in the posture of the body alone but in the pleading of the soul. We must know that the foundation of our power with God must always lie in the love and tenderness of God. He is susceptible of pity, yes, He is Tenderness itself. And there is a conquering power in faith, because faith pleads the promises of God! Thus, we draw near, not in our own merit, but in the riches of His glory, asking for that which He has already pledged to give.

To be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man, oh, what a necessity this is! The Spirit of God must work this, for natural depravity is an opposing force; men are set upon their sins, and love not the things of God, neither will they hearken to the voice of mercy. The miracles of grace are never unnecessary freaks of power; they have a practical end. The same may be said of the promises of God. It is essential to our salvation that every one of us should receive the Spirit of God. And when He comes, He begins a work He will never leave, carrying us from strength to strength until we stand complete in Christ. If you have not the Spirit of Christ, you are none of His.

And here is the glorious result: that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. This is Christ in the heart, true religion, which is the power of God and the wisdom of God. It is not a mere doctrine you have tasted, talked about, or sung concerning. To be directed into the love of God is quite another thing from all that we can be told. We come, when taught of the Spirit, to enter into the love of God by seeing its central importance; that it is the source and center, fountain and foundation of all our salvation. Being rooted and grounded there, we are on the highway to holiness. Love to God constrains us; it makes us courageous, bold, and truly free. The one who really loves the Lord, when tempted to sin, cries, "How can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?" Every act of sin arises out of the decline of love, but perfect love to God leads to a perfect life with God.

Then the prayer soars to comprehend with all saints the dimensions of a love that surpasses knowledge. This is no notion for a select few; it is for all the saints. But we must be taught of the Spirit to know it, for the most enlarged intellect must fail to compass it. This love is a marvel of marvels, a miracle needing the fullness of the Deity. What is the width and length and depth and height? It is a fullness which it were impossible to survey, much less to explore, a fullness of grace to pardon, to regenerate, to sanctify, to preserve, and to perfect. A fullness of comfort in affliction and guidance in prosperity. It is the love that spared not the Son, the love that says to the returning prodigal, "This my son was dead and is alive again." O child of God, your questionings of Divine love are grievous to your Father. Let your soul swim in this sea of love and say, "My God, I love You!"

And what is the end of it all, but to be filled with all the fullness of God? The Father has stored up all fullness in Christ, and it pleased Him that in Him should all fullness dwell. This is not an intermittent spring but an inexhaustible fountain. In Christ, you are rich to the fullness of riches! Get up to the high places and realize for yourselves the fullness of God in Christ Jesus. Do not insult the fullness of Christ by thinking that you are full enough yourselves, for when you come to Christ, God meets you, and a treaty of peace is made. You have only to ask of Him, and He will give you that which is yours already. God grant us grace to believe that today we can have all the blessing of a true revival, for of His fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory. The completion of our salvation, the deliverance of our body from the bondage of corruption, is wrapped up in the personal resurrection and quickening power of the Lord Jesus Christ. He who changes our vile bodies to be like His glorious body, to Him be glory. And this glory is in the church by Christ Jesus, throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Christ personally is the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Glory be to Him, for it is of His fullness we have received.
 
You have set before the church a prayer of the Apostle himself, that glorious outpouring from Ephesians, and it is a right and noble thing to seek such blessings. This is no small request, for the things asked are the very heights of the Christian life, the deep things of God which surpass all human reasoning. Consider carefully what the Spirit-inspired words mean: you plead for strength in the inner man by the might of the Holy Spirit, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. This indwelling is not a mere visit, but a permanent habitation. And from that rooting and grounding in love, you long to grasp with all the saints the immeasurable dimensions of Christ’s love, a love that, in its own nature, lies beyond all human knowledge. Yet the Apostle does not say it cannot be known; rather, it shall be known if Christ truly dwells in you. The Spirit who searches the deep things of God reveals it, for as I have often taught, the love of God is not given in small measure but shed abroad profusely in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, a gift more precious than heaven and earth, making us sons of God and brethren of Christ even before our struggles.

Do not be troubled then that such knowledge seems beyond your reach. The very fact that you must bow your knees and ask shows that it is the work of grace, not of human intellect. Even the Apostle, that vessel of election, prayed for the Ephesians to comprehend this love, how much more must we depend upon the Spirit’s revealing power! The “fullness of God” for which you plead means either the perfect knowledge of how the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are worshipped, or else that you would be filled with every virtue, as God Himself is full of every good. Both are fitting, and both come by the same pathway: the indwelling Christ and the operation of the Spirit who points always to Him.

Therefore, join your prayers with the Church’s continual offering of thanksgiving and song. Let your heart make melody to the Lord, for gratitude opens the soul to receive yet more grace. And remember, this love which surpasses knowledge is also the love that took sins upon Himself and sufficed for the ransom of the world. The Spirit who descended upon Christ at the Jordan now works to declare that same Christ to you and in you. Trust not in your own efforts, but strive together with all the saints in prayer, and the God who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine will, by the power that works in us, bring you to that blessed state of being filled unto all the fullness of God. To Him be glory in the Church by Christ Jesus throughout all generations, world without end. Amen.
