Prayer for the Ephesians

Ephesians 3:14-21
A prayer for the Ephesians.
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being,  so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love,  may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ,  and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us.
Paul has prayed that the church might have understanding. Now he prays more urgently than ever that they may have love; that they may be strong; that Christ may make his home in their hearts; that God may fill them completely.
Why?
God's grace + Spirit in our heart + our faith = power
Being rooted and established in love that surpasses knowledge and grasp how great is the love of Christ.
Church should have so much love together.
We can make it done beyond what we imagine through God's power worked in us.
How?
With love, faith and God's grace we may have power and be filled by the Lord completely.
