Prayer and in Christ

Ephesians 1:15-23
Remember you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.
I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people ,and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength.
God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
From the very beginning God determined to share his spiritual riches and glory with us - 'in Christ' (the key phrase of Ephesians). Christ stands at the very heart of God's plan. 
As we believe in him, his death sets us free: we can be forgiven. We can also share his new, risen life. We are made one with him, part of him. And in him we too are caught up in God's great world-plan as we live to his glory.
Why?
Prayer in God's mind 1)may know Him better 2) riches of His glorious inheritance 3)power is the same as the mighty strength.
Yes we are made one with Jesus Christ and part of him. 
My life is caught up in God's great world-plan. Do not forget that I am son of the Lord, Jesus saved me, set me free from sin and share the glory of Him.
How?
Pray for the three targets like Paul pray for his brothers.
