We used this passage and prayer last night at the beginning on a committee meeting.   

Ephesians 1.15-21 is one of Paul’s wonderful prayers that he lifts up to the LORD concerning his friends:

For this reason (to the praise of his glory, sealed with the promised Holy Spirit, given as the guarantee of our inheritance), because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

1. Read the passage.
2. Take a few minutes to meditate on the greatness of our God, how he brings to us faith, love, wisdom, revelation, knowledge, enlightenment, hope, riches, sainthood, power, might….
3. Use the passage to pray for

• The specific meeting you are holding
• For the leaders of you congregation
• For the congregation of your church

To the praise of His glory.
