Stand Still
(Morning Service)
Text: Ephesians 3:14-21
Most of us know how much prayer is talked about in the Bible. We know that prayer is encouraged and commanded. We know that prayer can change us. We know that prayer changes and transforms our world. But if we’re honest, most of us feel like we’re missing something when it comes to prayer. For our first part in our new series, we’re going to explore one of Paul’s prayers and we’ll think about how to deepen our prayer lives.
“For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
(Ephesians 3:14–21 ESV)”
