June 2013...May God Strengthen You

Dear Father God,

For this reason I kneel before You,

To pray that out of Your glorious riches
You may strengthen us with power

Through Your Spirit in our inner being,

So that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith.

And I pray that we,
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.

May we be filled to the measure
of all the fullness of God.

Now to You who is able to do immeasurably more
 than all we ask or imagine,

According to Your power that is at work within us,

To You be glory in Christ Jesus
throughout all generations,

For ever and ever!

Amen.
