Biblical Prayer 1

Dear heavenly Father,

I pray that you, 

    the God of my Lord Jesus Christ, 

    the Father of glory,
may give to me the spirit of wisdom and revelation 

    in the knowledge of you,
that the eyes of my understanding 

    may be enlightened;
that I may know 

    what is the hope of your calling,
    what are the riches of the glory 

        of your inheritance in the saints, and
    what is the exceeding greatness of your power 

        towards us who believe,
according to the working of your mighty power 

    which you worked in Christ
        when you raised him from the dead
        and seated him at your right hand in the heavenly places.

In Jesus' name, amen.  

(Eph 1:16-20)
