Paul’s Prayer: How to Pray for Others & Ourselves
Ephesians 3:14-21

“I like to think of the apostle’s petition as a staircase by which he climbs higher and higher in his aspiration for his readers.” (John Stott)

Power:
“For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being.” (Ephesians 3:14-16)

Residence:
“…so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.” (Eph 3:17a).

Awareness:
And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge— (Ephesians 3:17b-19a)

“…the love of Christ is ‘broad’ enough to encompass all mankind, ‘long’ enough to last all eternity, ‘deep’ enough to reach the most degraded sinner, and ‘high’ enough to exalt him to heaven, (John Stott)

Yield:
—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3:14-19)

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:20–21)
