I Bow My Knees Before The Father
For this reason I bow my knees before
the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. I
pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be
strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ
may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in
love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints,
what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be
filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to him who by the power at work
within us is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or
imagine, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations,
forever and ever. Amen.
Jesus prayed for His disciples. His
truth led them to spiritual understanding of who He was. Peter had a spiritual
need, which was to be released from jail. His friends prayed, and he was
released. We can also pray for relief from distress on an emotional level. The
very fact that Jesus knows us and will not allow us to be tested beyond our
means should give us emotional strength. Prayer also helps us mentally because
of the insight and wisdom that is promised for those who cry out to God.
Through prayer and reading His Word, the peace of God can be found. Are you
struggling? Ask God for spiritual, physical, emotional and mental assistance.
Turn your
cares into prayers.
