Father I pray that out of Your glorious riches You would strengthen me with Your power through Your Spirit in my inner being, so You can dwell in my heart through faith. I pray that I will be rooted and established in love; having power to grasp how wide and how long and high and deep is Your love and to know this love that surpasses knowledge so that I may be filled to the measure of all Your fullness.

May I receive Your divine love so that I can live and breathe and minister out of Divine Love. Fill the crevices of my heart and soul with Your fullness and Your love preparing my heart with the love of Jesus so I may pour out Your love to others and do great exploits in Your name.

Thank You Father that Jesus’ perfect love cast out all my fears- You are the light that shines fourth for there is no darkness in You. You are the omnipotent God who knows all, hears all, and sees all and nothing can be hidden from You. Your  Name is Love.

I kneel before You, O God and ask for more of Your love to be shed abroad in my heart. I ask for Your grace to walk by and kiss me each new day. I rejoice that Your mercies are new every new every morning, so that I may have a golden opportunity to share Your love, and Your grace with all I come in contact with.

You command us in Your Word to love each other as You have loved us. The wonderful news is each time I may be bumped by a fellow branch swaying in the wind; I can vivaciously allow the joints to graft us tighter and stronger to The Vine, without whom I can do nothing. 

Thank You Father, that You are transforming me into the image of Your Son, changing me from glory to glory and trained in the arena of life. I praise the Master Teacher for helping me along life’s pathways.

Lord I need an encounter with You, I must experience Your love and Your power for without it Your Word is equated to mere ink upon paper. You are alive and reign in power and may I settle for anything less than Your power that was imparted to me through the Holy Spirit. You are love in action and Your name is Jesus.

The cross was powerful – a tragedy, a death of agony, the atonement; but the power of God comes not from Your agony, but from Your love.  Father, I thank You that when I am being tested I can learn to take great advantage of the power of the words explained in Proverbs 18, even declaring out loud, “ Lord I choose not to be offended. Amen!”

Father I don’t just want knowledge, I want to know Your love that surpasses knowledge. It’s out of intimacy with You that the power of Your love flows though me.  Love and power are the attributes of Jesus and together they save, heal, and raise the dead. As Your yielded vessel, I must be so filled, flooded, with Your Spirit that nothing else can get in. Your Love and Power are able to do immeasurable more than all we ask or imagine, according to Your work within me.

To You be the glory forever and ever, Amen.
