‘A Meaningful Prayer.’
This is a very pure Bible Prayer. Apostle Paul had a deep and practical love for the Ephesian Church and taught them many things about God and about how to live out the life of a True Believer. Here we read this loving and meaningful Prayer that he prayed for them.
Ephesians 3:14-21.
a) Ephesians 3:14. He prayed on his knees to the Heavenly Father for them.
b) Ephesians 3:15. He prayed to the Creator of all peoples, Nations and families.
c) Ephesians 3:16. He prayed that that according to the riches of His Glory He may grant them to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in their inner being.
d) Ephesians 3:17. He prayed that Christ would dwell in their hearts through Faith.
e) Ephesians 3:17-19. He prayed for them to deeply experience the Love of God through Christ and that, in experiencing that Love they would be filled with all the fullness of God.
f) Ephesians 3:20-21. He prayed for God to be Glorified in the Church. God was able to do within them (and us too) far more abundantly than all they asked or thought. He was to do this by the Power of His Spirit working deeply and gently within them.

Chris.
God has taken the initiative in loving us. We are free from our old bondages and sins because of God’s Love. He so loved us that He sent His Son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty that our sins deserve on the Cross for us. God’s Love is powerful and magnificent. No human being can give us God’s Love. Only the Holy Spirit can do that.
