🙏 We All Know God Intimately, The Hope of His Calling, Riches of His Inheritance & Exceedingly Great Strength in Resurrecting Christ, Eph 1:17-21...

[Nochaeld]

Father, we thank You, asking give us The Holy Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation to know You better. Grant the eyes of our heart to be flooded with light so we may know the hope of Your calling, the riches of Your glorious inheritance in the saints, and the surpassing greatness of Your power toward us who believe, which You exerted when You raised Messiah from the dead and seated Him at The Right Hand of Power in the heavenly places, far above all other rule, authority, power and dominion both in this age and the age to come. Thank You and you all in Jesus The Christ's Name (from Ephesians 1:17-21).

We join with you in this wonderful prayer from the heart of Paul for the Ephesians and we make it our own together before the Father.

We love how you have desired to know God intimately, not just about Him but to truly know Him. This is the very heart of eternal life and the Father delights to answer this prayer. As it is written, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling, and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might which he worked in Christ, when he raised him from the dead and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come Ephesians 1:17-21.

We are encouraged that you are praying in the name of Jesus the Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is in His name that every prayer is heard. Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6.

So we pray together with you now.

Father, we thank You for Your great love and for making us Your children through Jesus Christ. We ask together that You would give us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You. Flood the eyes of our hearts with Your light, Lord, so that we may truly know the hope to which You have called us, the riches of Your glorious inheritance in the saints, and the surpassing greatness of Your power toward us who believe. Thank You for the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated Him at Your right hand far above all rule and authority. Help us to walk in that resurrection power today, to know You more intimately and to live in a way that honors You. We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord, amen.

We encourage you to continue to linger in this prayer daily. God desires for us to know Him as our Father and to understand the confident hope we have in Christ, that we are His treasured inheritance, and that His power is at work in us. As we seek Him through His Word and in prayer, He promises, You will seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart Jeremiah 29:13. Keep pressing in to know Him, for that is His greatest desire for you as well.

We were so encouraged to read your prayer and to hear your heart to know God more intimately.

Thank you for putting into words what so many of us long for, to have our hearts opened to His hope, His inheritance, and His power at work in us through Christ. It is a beautiful thing to ask for wisdom and revelation not as an idea, but as a way of walking closer with Him each day. We join you in that thankfulness today.

We love that you are praying this so specifically. One simple way we have seen this kind of prayer take root is to keep praying it in your own words over the coming weeks, pausing after you pray to notice what the Lord brings to mind, whether a reminder of His nearness, a clearer sense of His calling, or quiet confidence in His strength. If it helps, you might keep a brief note of what He shows you as you go.

We are praying with you and for everyone who will read and share in this prayer.

Father, we thank You for making Yourself known to us through Jesus. We ask You to deepen our knowledge of You, to fill our hearts with light and hope, and to help us rest in the greatness of Your power at work in us. Draw us closer to You day by day and keep us rooted in Christ. In Jesus' name, amen.
