Hungry PrayersPrøve

# This Will Change Your Life! "This will change your life!"  This is a promise often made by advertisers, friends applying peer-pressure and those who just want us to go with them. While Paul doesn't use these words, the sentiment or, more accurately, the conviction is present in his hungry prayer for the Ephesian Christians. And what does he pray for? * He prays for inner strength (resilience, character, integrity & perseverance) * He prays for the indwelling presence of Christ * He prays for the power to grasp God's love. The third prayer is significant. God's love is so great that we need help to understand it! He uses four dimensions in his attempt to alert us to the magnificence of God's love. I love his image: How do you grasp length, breadth, height and depth? Is there any better prayer we can pray for people? Read the prayer slowly and thoughtfully. Dwell on the enormity of a love so big that we need power just to help us get a handle on it.
