Ephesians 3 Powerful prayer for our faith

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you 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, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.
(Ephesians 3:14-21 NIV)

This is the kind of prayer I want to pray for the students I lead, for people around me at home and at church and also for myself. Though I am following God there is so much more God would have for me in my faith and life for God!

I truly want the Spirit to dwell in me in power that is transforming me and ministering to others with power.

God I ask for understanding and appreciation for the unmeasurable immensity of the love of God to me and to all of us in Christ.

God I believe your Spirit and Love and a understanding from you can fill us completely so that we live righteously and faithfully fully joyful and satisfied in this life all to Gods glory.

And yet in our sin we choose so much less than the best God has for us. I am easily drawn to the fleeting pleasures of sin and lose sight of Jesus and his immeasurable worth in my life. I am sorry God. I beg forgiveness. I ask you to be in me and change me.

And yet I have hope because God you can and are am doing immeasurably more than I ask or even know to ask for. And so I praise you! I can hoe and trust in you because your good and plans are so far beyond me and my weakness. All glory to you Christ and not to us for the small things we do right every once in a while! Only Christ in us by the Spirit can do any good! So thank you God for letting us be a part of your work, but all glory to you!
Amen
