Paul is writing to the faithful in this town----you know, the ones whose faith he has heard about; the ones who have shown love toward all. And he's telling the good guys---you are always being mentioned in my prayers---Ephesians 1:16---because, we all need prayer!
"that the Father of Glory
may give to you a Spirit of wisdom
and revelation in the knowledge of Him.
having the eyes of your hearts enlightened,
that you may know what is the hope of His Calling,
what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints
and what is the exceeding greatness of His Power toward us who believe
according to that working of the strength of His Might." Ephesians 1:17-19
"God has laid up spiritual blessings for us in his Son the Lord Jesus; but requires us to draw them out and fetch them in by prayer." Matthew Henry. That so makes me want to go pray. Makes me so want to ask you to mention my name. And just how did I get to this place where I am today. And just how in the world can I get to a better place? It is Your Working of the Strength of Your Might. Oh God, help us all.
There is nothing on this earth that can enlighten the eyes of our hearts.
Nothing less than the power of the Almighty God at work to will and do of His Good Pleasure.
Will I let Him this day have His Own Way? For we are made for Him. We are known by Him. We are here in Him.
COME BOLDLY: Timeless Prayers
Dear Father, indeed we all do need prayer. Every day we face the blank stares as we share our hearts, as well as, we see the Beautiful Energy of Christ stirring in some. From the bottom to the top of trust, pray for each other----all of us. The faithful. We need God. And days like today, one of the craziest ones, should drive me to dependence in prayer not apparent despair. Oh God, help us all. Answer these mentions of ours throughout this day. Amen.
