"I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen Hope and Kevin with power
through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through
faith. And I pray that Hope and Kevin, being rooted and established in love, may have
power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is
the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that Hope and
Kevin 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." Ephesians 3:16-20
".... We have not stopped praying for Hope and Kevin asking God to fill Hope and Kevin
with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And we
pray this in order that Hope and Kevin may live a life worthy of the Lord and may
please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of
God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that Hope
and Kevin may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully giving thanks to the
Father, who has qualified Hope and Kevin to share in the inheritance of the saints in
the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought
us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness
of sins." Colossians 1:9-14
"O Lord, I call to You; come quickly to me. Hear my voice when I call to You. Thank
You Lord, that You will answer me and tell me great and unsearchable things I do not
know. May my prayer be set before You like incense; may the lifting up of my hands be
like the evening sacrifice. Let the morning bring me word of Your unfailing love, for I
have put my trust in You. Show me the way I should go, for to You I lift up my soul.
Rescue me from my enemies, O Lord, for I hide myself in You. Teach me to do Your
will, for You are my God; may Your good Spirit lead me on level ground. Search me, O
God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any
offensive way in me, and lead me and Kevin in the way everlasting. Have mercy on us,
O God, according to Your unfailing love; according to Your great compassion blot out
our transgressions. Wash away all our iniquities and cleanse us from our sins. Set a
guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips. Let not my and
Kevin's heart be drawn to what is evil. I keep asking You to fill us with the knowledge of
Your will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding. And I pray that we may live a
life worthy of the Lord and may please You in every way. I pray that You will open
Kevin's eyes and turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God,
so that we may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified
by faith in You. I pray that Kevin will repent and turn to You, Lord and prove our
repentance by our deeds. For You have rescued us from the dominion of darkness and
brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the
forgiveness of sins. I keep asking that the God, our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious
Father, may give Kevin and I the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that we may know
You better. I pray that the eyes of our hearts may be enlightened in order that Kevin
and I may know the hope to which You have called us, the riches of Your glorious
inheritance in the saints. I pray that Kevin will live by the Spirit, and will not gratify the
desires of the sinful nature. May You fill Kevin and I with the fruit of the Spirit which is
love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and selfcontrol.
I pray that Kevin and I may be delivered from wicked and evil men, for not
everyone has faith. But the Lord is faithful, and He will strengthen and protect us from
the evil one. I praise You that You will cleanse Kevin and I from all our impurities and
from all our idols. You will give us each a new heart and put a new spirit in us; You will
remove from us our heart of stone and give us a heart of flesh. Thank You Lord that I
am not be afraid or discouraged because of this vast problem. For the battle is not
mine, but Yours. Thank You Lord that I can do everything through You who gives me
strength. And You will meet all my needs according to Your glorious riches in Christ
Jesus. Thank You Lord for Your promises that what You have said, that will You bring
about; what You have planned, that will You do. Thank You for Your Word that goes
out from Your mouth: It will not return to You empty, but will accomplish what You
desire and achieve the purpose for which You sent it. Our help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth. For nothing is impossible with God. Thank You Lord for
healing and restoring our marriage and for all marriages around the world. I pray this in
the mighty Name of Jesus. Amen."
