PRAYING THE SCRIPTURES FOR DISCERNMENT




Scriptural suggestions for how to pray for ourselves and others


1) Our eyes will be open to our unlimited resources in Christ (Eph 1:17,18)

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints,

2) We will be strengthened by the Holy Spirit (Eph 3:16)

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,

3) We will be filled with the fulness of God (Eph 3:19)

.. and to know this love that surpasses knowledge ? that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

4) We will fully understand and appreciate the love of Christ (Eph 3:18)

.. may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight,
