Paul’s prayer inspires me to know God more and really seek all the understanding He offers me. We need to be empowered by the Spirit so we stop trying to live on our own strength and our hearts are full of the Spirit’s promptings. The more we study and open our hearts to this the roots of Christ will grow deep and we will feel God’s love for us and we will begin to understand and our focus will be true.
When we grow our selfish desires will get less and we will desire the complete power that a life with Christ has to offer. We will have joy and not just happiness. We will serve and give with a cheerful heart because God has filled us with Him and we will long to share the Good News because there is nothing greater. I don’t want a taste of it I want the entire thing. We can’t settle, God wants us to be warriors considering it great joy to be a part of His family.
Verse 20 says, “Now all glory to God, who is able, through His mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think.” Even when we fully surrender to Him we can’t understand everything, but He will give us the strength to make a difference and help people see God’s love in us. Let’s not be satisfied with our strength, let’s tap into His and live for His will. Amen
