When I first heard of...Yeah, isn't that awesome!?! When I first heard of using this passage as a prayer several years ago, along with another prayer in Colossians 1, I focused in on the words 'spiritual wisdom and understanding' and 'revelation.' I still pray those specific words for myself and for others, but the rest of the words are so rich and so full of truth that we all need to know and to grow in. I love how you highlighted those words and pointed out how this is a proclamation of what is already true, not something we need to beg for or 'declare' in order to make it true.Joel Bruesekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10395847887953875757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-6453621031394408612008-04-02T15:05:00.000-05:002008-04-02T15:05:00.000-05:00the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; ...<I>the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the <B>hope of His calling</B>, what are the <B>riches of the glory</B> of His <B>inheritance</B> in the <B>saints</B>, and what is the <B>exceeding greatness</B> of <B>His power toward us</B> who believe,</I><BR/><BR/>Wow! in that one statement itself there are many blessings of a saint emphasized. It is amazing. If we notice, there is no 'begging', 'commanding', 'declaring', 'bargaining', 'demanding' or anything of that nature in his prayer. It is more like a proclamation of the truth and sharing of his heart!Bino M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02303467552834533436noreply@blogger.com
