14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. (Ephesians 3)
Paul often speaks of the struggle we have within to do what we spiritually desire to do: please God. Here he offers a prayer for believers (that includes us today) that we will comprehend and apprehend the power of the Holy Spirit, the love and grace of Christ, and the full character of God within us to transform us into loving and obedient members of His family. It is a prayer for meditation and aspiration. May it be our prayer as we sing...
