Prayerfully Re-Center around God
Ephesians 3:16-17
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith.
~Apostle Paul
Pondering Point
Modeling Paul, we pray this for ourselves and for those on our hearts. To prepare for the prayer, do a short review, repent, and then return to re-center around God.
Review
Are you in touch with your “inner being?” Do you welcome Christ’s presence and leadership in your heart and life?
Repent if Necessary
Repent if necessary if you have neglected your inner being, if you have neglected His leadership or spurned the riches of God for lesser shiny things of this world.
Return (as necessary)
Between you and God, commit to address the ongoing health of your inner being. Ponder the riches He brings to the table through Jesus. Open your heart anew to Jesus Christ and His presence and leadership. This means you are inviting the Father, Son, and Spirit of God to live in You.
Prayer
Lord, You are so generous: I pray for ______, that they may be strengthened in their spirit by Your Holy Spirit and that by Your power, Christ may dwell in their hearts by faith. In Your generosity Lord, I pray that You would strengthen me in my spirit as well so that by Your power, Christ may dwell powerfully in my heart by faith. Come Spirit, come. Amen.
