Prayer for all People.

I was reading through Ephesians this morning and some of the prayers Paul wrote were both beautiful and profound. As I read through Ch. 3 - This was Paul's prayer for the Ephesians:

"14For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom his whole family[h] 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 saints, 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."

This is such a rich and heartfelt prayer that not only exemplify Paul's understanding and Love for Christ; but also his Love for those God has enabled him to reach out to. I thank God that he included us in that prayer too! (verse 21) I prayed this prayer for all who read this, for all those fellow church planters out there, and for all the folks that God enables Legacy Church to reach out to. I pray that you all "may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." Amen.
