Simple morning prayer
Today, just pray these simple words.
Prayer For You
I loved this prayer from Ephesians 3:16ff for spiritual growth by the Apostle Paul written to the Christian church of Ephesus. So today I pray it for you,
"I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God."
Then Paul praises God saying,
"Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might as or think. Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever!"
Can I get an Amen?!
Today I pray that same prayer for you, that you realize you can never be lost to God's love. It reaches as wide as our own experiences, the length of our life, the heights of our tribulations, and to the depths of our sorrows and despair. God's love is full and complete. I pray your faith grows down deep into that love. And I praise God that he is working his mighty power through you, accomplishing so much more than we can imagine.
I pray we trust in his perfect love.

Prayer for Daily Grace
Now may the grace of his forgiveness, which blooms evergreen for all his children, work powerfully in us, changing us into better image-bearers of Christ and more faithful servants of our King. Let our inability to ever perfectly love you, O God, drive us daily to the arms of Christ, wherein the enormity of your mercy and the scandal of such grace lavished upon us would birth in us a new and greater affection for you, and a new and greater desire to do that which pleases you. Somehow use even our weaknesses for your glory.
