PRAYER FROM EPHESIANS 1:17-23

by | Apr 16, 2011 | 6 comments

When we personalize God’s Word in our prayers, we will experience His phenomenal power and presence not only in our lives, but also in the lives of our grandchildren. We will experience more boldness and confidence in our praying as we verbalize God’s Word. Don’t under estimate the power of a praying grandparent.

Dear Father,

I ask you, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, to give _______ spiritual wisdom and understanding to grow in his/her love for you.

I pray that the eyes of _______ heart will be flooded with light so that he/she can know the hope and glorious future you want to share with him/her.

I pray  ______ will begin to understand how incredibly great your power is to help those who believe in you.

I pray ___________will realize that this power is the same mighty power that raised Jesus from the dead and seated him at your right hand is available to him/her today.

In Jesus name, Amen

      It’s not any particular version. It taken from the NIV and paraphrased into a prayer.
