Several people have asked for a copy of the paraphrased prayer from Ephesians 3:14-21 that we used at the end of the service on Sunday, March 13th, 2016.
Here is the prayer. Below it are links to both PDF and Microsoft Word versions. (And these have both the his/he version and the her/she version.)
Heavenly Father, you are the Father of every righteous being in all creation. I come before you to ask that out of the riches of your glory, by the power of your Spirit, you will strengthen __________ in his inner being. Do this by allowing Jesus to be present in his heart by faith. I pray that he will be rooted like a tree in your love, grounded on that foundation, so that he will be able to grasp your love, along with all the redeemed. I pray that he would be transformed by knowing the love of Christ, seeing its height, its depth, its length, its width, even though this love surpasses human understanding. I pray that he would be filled to overflowing with your fullness. Father, you are able to do immeasurably more than all I can ask or think. I believe you are able to put that power to work in ___________. Be glorified as you do this, glorified by every generation of the church, and glorified as the church points to Christ Jesus forever and ever. Amen.
