Pray With Me (and Paul)

"I ask the Father in his great glory to give you the power to be strong inwardly through his Spirit. I pray that Christ will live in your hearts by faith and that your life will be strong in love and be built on love. And I pray that you and all God's holy people will have the power to understand the greatness of Christ's love—how wide and how long and how high and how deep that love is. Christ's love is greater than anyone can ever know, but I pray that you will be able to know that love. Then you can be filled with the fullness of God." — Ephesians 3:16-19

I read this in Bible study this week and almost cried. This is one of the most beautiful prayers ever. How much love, for people, for humanity, is contained in these verses! Join me in praying this prayer every day this week- for you, for me, for all those affected by the Virginia Tech shootings, for everyone who has a need in their life, for those who don't even realize what that need really is.
