14 Days of Prayer - Day 13


DAY 13: SATURDAY

SPIRITUAL GROWTH


Read: Eph 3:14-21 NIV 

 14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord's holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge--that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. 20 Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.


Pray:

•Pray that we would all be ignited in our hearts and wills to respond to Jesus’ invitation of growth; to go on a journey of healing with him.

•Ask God to show you a clear picture of where you currently are at and what he might be inviting you into next. Journal your thoughts about this and ask him for some clear next steps to get there.

•While connection with God in solitude is good for our souls we often experience our biggest growth in community. Ask God how you can add more voices into your journey and how you can be a voice of wisdom for someone else this year.

Pastor Gregory's prayer for you:

Today I'm going to ask you to read the above scripture agin, but this time every time Paul prays "you" make it personal, pray "I"  for example when he says that "he may strengthen you" pray it" he may strengthen ME" and so on. Its a wonderful pray that will have deep meaning for you!
