Prayer to discern the power and glory of God
Prayer-a-phrase of Ephesians 1:17-21
May the God of our Lord Jesus Christ –
the glorious Father –
give you a spirit of wisdom
and the knowledge revealed
to know Him.
May the eyes of your heart
be so filled with light,
you may know
what hope you have
in God’s call,
what riches of glory you’ve inherited
with the holy ones,
what exceeding power God has
for us who believe –
the same power shown by raising
Christ from the dead and
seating Him at His right hand
in heavenly places found
far above every principality,
authority, power, domain,
and every other name we can name –
not only in this age but the one to come.
