I Pray

I Pray

I pray that you are strong,

and the Word of God lives in you,

and you have overcome the evil one.

I pray that out of His glorious riches,

God may strengthen you with power

through His Spirit in your inner being,

So that Christ may dwell in your hearts

through faith.

I pray that you, being rooted and established

in love, may have power, together with

all the saints, 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.   

May the God of hope fill you with

all joy and peace as you trust in him

so that you may overflow with hope

by the power of the Holy Spirit.

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,

forever and ever!

Amen.
