Paul's Prayer: Ephesians 1:17-19



I like when I find the prayers the Apostles prayed for the believers. It is good to embed these prayers into our own personal prayer life, as we pray for believers in our local assemblies and world wide, and even ourselves.
In the last few verses in the first chapter of Ephesians there is a prayer that Apostle Paul writes:

Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 17

[I Pray]that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power ,


Isn't that an awesome prayer to repeat?

So this is my prayer for us all today. That the eyes of our understanding would be flooded with light, and the spirit of wisdom and revelation would rest on us- pursuing God, through his word and prayer, with diligence. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Also, I surely don't take holidays that my husband gets off of work lightly! Love....

Mission: Christmas Blessing

Peace & love everybody! I've been so excited it's been hard to contain myself regarding today's mission! I hope that after reading this post, you'll be as encouraged as I am now! Known by most today as "the last Stalinist country" and according to VOM, "one of the most repressive and isolated regimes in the world", North Korea needs our prayers, monetary support, and volunteers. It's even being reported that a holocaust is occurring there as I'm writing this! Christians are being tortured, killed, and having "experiments" run on them all because they testify that Jesus is their Lord. Read a short synopsis of what Persecution.com has to say about North Korea and check out their related links. Thanks to our family over at The Voice of the Martyrs, we will be able to encourage and support our North Korean brothers and sisters! With our donations of $50 we will be able to sponsor a package that will have hard-to-get essentials, ...
