The Spirit Of Wisdom And
Revelation
For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith
in the Lord Jesus and your love for all God’s people, I have
not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you
may know him better.
I pray that the eyes of your
heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has
called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power
is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when
he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly
realms, far above all rule and authority, power
and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but
also in the one to come. And God placed all things
under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church,
which is his body, the fullness
of him who fills everything in every way.
Ephesians 1:15-23
The apostle Paul wrote prayers to encourage other
believers. Paul mentioned those he asked God to help through his own prayers.
We should do the same. Pray for wisdom and revelation in those who can help us,
and those people we love and care about.
Do you have friends or family members who need your
prayers of encouragement right now? Besides letting them know that you are
praying for them, try sending a written prayer as well.
Praying for others is a
privilege – and a responsibility.
