Ephesisans 3:17-19

In doing the Growing Deeper with God Bible Study (Tuesday nights) we were introduced to Ephesisans: Paul prayed that the Ephesians would have the power "to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-- that (they) may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." We were then asked if there was someone who could pray this verse for us and if there was someone we could pray this verse for... so please join me in prayer: Father God in Heaven, almighty Father, perfect, merciful, loving, powerful Lord, I cry out to you that for whomsoever shall read this blog today whether in Australia, Singapore, Nicaragua, Canada, New Orleans, Los Angeles, Texas, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Santa Rosa or next door, that they would know how wide, how deep and how long your love is for them. Father God, for those who only know 'religion' and not a 'relationship' with you I ask that they would turn their eyes and hearts away from things of 'religion' and you would pour down your love, this wide, deep, long, high love you have for them and just fill them up to overflowing! Father God, I thank you that as the loving Father you are you wait in expectancy for all of us to choose you, having a perfect plan for our lives~ the plan which your word says does not bring us harm but hope and a future~ so I wait to see my friends and family know you...for those that already do, I thank you! I ask Father that it doesn't take an earthquake or cancer or divorce or loss of life for any person reading this to finally cry out to you~ for in our weaknesses you are made strong~ and I know I myself have denied you until tragedy has hit~ but this day, I ask that it will take but a gentle whisper from them that says, "Lord, come into my life and forgive me for all that I have sinned, thank you for laying down your life for me so that I can have eternal life. I want to know what this hope feels like that Lori keeps telling me about...but it doesn't make sense... I need you to fill me up for your glory~ I declare you the Lord of my life~ this world has nothing for me, come into my life Jesus." AMEN
