I bow my knee before the Father,
from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name.
I pray that, according to the riches of God's glory,
God may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being
with power through the Spirit,
and that Christ may dwell in your heart through faith,
as you are being rooted and grounded in love.
I pray that you may have the power to comprehend,
with all the saints,
what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
and to know the love of Christ that surpasses all knowledge,
so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.
Now to God who by the power at work within us
is able to accomplish abundantly far more than all we can ask or imagine,
to God be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
