My Favorite Prayer about Spiritual Growth

When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 

Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully.

Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God. 

Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.

(Eph. 3:14-21 NLT)

  1. It took me a while to look around all of the comments, but I actually enjoyed the topic that you chose. It looked to be very useful to me and I am sure to all of the different people who have looked at this blog, It’s constantly nice when your not merely informed, however your also entertained! I’m positive you had fun scripting this article. I’m going to seize your rss feed so I don’t miss anything significant that you guys might come up with within the future, Thanks.

  2. Ah, Spammer, how easily hast thou deceived me… here I was thinking I was finally getting some positive comments on my posts, and now I find you here spouting the same shtick (which I previously embraced when it was directed to me) on another blog. Oh well, maybe it’s better to have been spammed and lost, than never…
