We are all doing our best to live as best we can - and each of us is fighting great battles and needs someone to pray for us.


Paul, the writer of the book of Ephesians, sends this letter to his friends.  He writes to remind them of what is true about following Jesus’ Way and inspire them to take their faith seriously.


Begin your day with a simple prayer for those you love…


I ask—ask the God of our Master, Jesus Christ, the God of glory—to make you intelligent and discerning in knowing him personally, your eyes focused and clear, so that you can see exactly what it is he is calling you to do, grasp the immensity of this glorious way of life he has for his followers, oh, the utter extravagance of his work in us who trust him—endless energy, boundless strength!  Ephesians 1:18-19  The Message


Pray


Who needs you to pray as Paul prayed for his friends? Thank God, by name, for your kids, spouse, and friends.  Ask God to bless their…


…body with health, purity, and stamina.


…labor with wisdom and favor at work or school.


…emotional life with joy, health, and healing.


…social life with growing friendships, fidelity in marriage, and courageous parenting.


…spiritual life with a breakthrough in knowing You today.
