Ephesians 1:15-21

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

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 which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion,

and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.


Greetings Bible Enthusiast!

"Pray without ceasing." This should include praying for husbands, wives, children, parents, siblings, friends, neighbors, anyone and everyone that surrounds you within praying distance!

If you are worried, that is a sure signal to pray!

If you can't sleep, it is a great time to pray.

If you are afraid, ashamed, depressed, those are all urgent times to pray.

If you are happy, rejoicing, thankful, content, what better time to pray?

"Pray without ceasing," for in doing so we are obedient to the Word of God and pleasing to our Heavenly Father.

God Bless You!
