A Prayer about Praying for the Church

Precious Lord,

We continue praying Ephesians 1:15-23 for our friends and for our churches.

We pray that every single saint (person set-apart in Christ) 

will “understand the incredible greatness 

of your power for us who believe in you” (Ephesians 1:19).

[Name ways you see or need to see God’s power to the church in these days].

Mighty God, you 

“raised Christ from the dead and seated him 

in the place of honor at your right hand” (Ephesians 1:20).

May we bow down to King Jesus 

far more than we bow down to our personal agendas.

May we remember and live in the reality 

that the church is Christ’s body—

“it is made full and complete by Christ, 

who fills all things everywhere with himself” (Ephesians 1:23),

and may we worship joyfully 

in anticipation of the day 

when there will be no more division in the church ever again. 

In Jesus’ reigning name. Amen. 

Read Ephesians 1:15-23.
