For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom his whole family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen me with power through his Spirit in my inner being, so that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith. And I pray that I, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge - that I may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
This prayer encompasses so many great things in just a few lines. I kneel before the Father and humble myself before him. I recognize his power and the extraordinary riches that he has given to me and my family. I ask for His continued blessings and for Christ to dwell in my heart so I can stay firm in my faith. And I pray that He give me the right frame of mind to attempt to comprehend the vastness of his love for me and all of humanity.
Prayer is a very important aspect of Christian faith. Through prayer we humble ourselves and we maintain our relationship with God. I heard someone once describe it in this way: God is like a rich and powerful Dad. No matter how badly we screw up as His brat children he still loves us. He's our Dad, why not give him a call every now and then?
