PRAYER FOR A NEW YEAR

Ephesians 3:14-19

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height— to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Encouraging Words

What better way is there to start off a new year than this prayer by Saint Paul for all of the believers of his day and that would come after him until the return of our Lord? There is nothing more that any of us could ever hope for than to be strengthened with might through His Spirit, that we be rooted and grounded in love, and be able to comprehend with all the saints and what is the width and length and depth and height of Gods' love for us. This love surpasses all human knowledge and understanding. Glory be to God!
