"I do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers." Ephesians 1:16 NASB

There has never entered into the heart or mind of any man or woman to pray and ask God for the things that He desires to give us, so He provided the prayers for us in His Word! There is an incredible promise in 1 John 5:14-15; "This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him." When we pray back to God the prayers that He provided us, we pray with full assurance because they are His revealed will, therefore He hears and He answers our prayers. I'm going to include a very few that I pray you will pray for your family members, for your friends, your church, your neighbors, anyone that God lays on you heart. Pray and watch for the answers for they will surely come.

Ephesians 1:16-19; "While making mention of you in my prayers that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of Him. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the surpassing greatness of His power towards us who believe."

Ephesians 3:16-19; "That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God."

Philippians 1:9-11; "And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment, so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ; having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God."

Colossians 1:9-14; "We ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding, so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; strengthened with all power according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." (This is what I am praying everyday for family, Monday night Bible study)

1 Thessalonians 3:12-13; "And may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you; so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints."

2 Thessalonians 1:11-12; "To this end also we pray for you always, that our God will count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power. So that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you and you in Him. According to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ."

Ephesians 6:19; "And pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel."

And this is my prayer for all of you who read this today. 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 NLT; "Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again. God will make this happen, for He who calls you is faithful."
