Ephesians 3:14-21
Ephesians 3:14-21
A prayer for the Ephesians
For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 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, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge – that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
20 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, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

How to S.O.A.P.
Use your 21 Days of Prayer Journal, if you don't have one you can do this with a piece of paper.
S — SCRIPTURE - Which verse stood out to you?
Listen to the reading for today again a couple of times and allow God to speak to you. Is there a verse that particularly stands out? If so, write it in your journal.
O — OBSERVATION - What is God saying to you?
What do you feel God is saying to you in this scripture? Ask the Holy Spirit to teach you and reveal something to you.
A — APPLICATION - How can you apply it today?
Personalise what you have read, by asking yourself how it applies to your life. Perhaps it is an instruction, an encouragement, a new promise, or corrections for a particular area of your life. Write how this scripture can apply to you today.
P — PRAYER - Ask God to help you use what you’ve learned.
This can be as simple as asking God to help you use this scripture, or even a prayer for a greater insight on what the Spirit may be revealing to you. Remember, prayer is a two-way conversation, so also listen to what God has to say! Now, write it out.
