At first I was going to attempt to write a deep and thorough study of the verses that I focus on each week. After a couple of failed attempts, I am positive that I am supposed to keep it simple, to allow for the Holy Spirit to work in each of us to show each one personally what He wants us to take away from it.
Week 1 of Powerful Prayer Tuesday!
9For this reason we also, from the day we heard of it, have not ceased to pray and make [special] request for you, [asking] that you may be filled with the full (deep and clear) knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God] and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things-- 10That you may walk (live and conduct yourselves) in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to Him and desiring to please Him in all things, bearing fruit in every good work and steadily growing and increasing in and by the knowledge of God [with fuller, deeper, and clearer insight, acquaintance, and recognition].
11[We pray] that you may be invigorated and strengthened with all power according to the might of His glory, [to exercise] every kind of endurance and patience (perseverance and forbearance) with joy,
12Giving thanks to the Father, Who has qualified and made us fit to share the portion which is the inheritance of the saints (God's holy people) in the Light.
This is a prayer that I have been praying over my husband for a while. God has truly blessed him in many ways. Recently, I began praying it over our whole family and our close friends and I can feel it working in our home. I am confident that our family and friends will be blessed also. I feel that this is a prayer that we can all benefit from and as I type, I pray that all who read this will be blessed by it. That you will be "filled with the full (deep and clear) knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom [in comprehensive insight into the ways and purposes of God] and in understanding and discernment of spiritual things..."
So it shall be!
Blessings and Joy to all!

Jamie, we must be on similar path with prayer. I just finished praying and posting my 31 days of praying for your sibling when I read this. Truly amazing! It's amazing how God feeds us!
ReplyDeleteWow, Candice! God is awesome! I love that what we think is a small thing, or only affects us is actually a small part of the big and awesome plan that He is working all around us! :) Thank you for sharing and visiting!
