Ephesians 3:1-8Dear Father,Thank you for the great apostle Paul and for his life of magnificent service. I know that it was through your graciousness that he was called. It demonstrated the working of your great power to turn a human life from rebellion to obedience.Thank you for such a man, who could count himself as the very least of all your people. Thank you for such humility. He boasted not of himself but of you! My Father, let me imitate him completely in this!Thank you that through him, at least at first, the unsearchable riches of Christ were proclaimed, to make all men see what was the plan of the secret which you had kept hidden for ages in yourself, the God who created all things.In the name of Jesus I give you thanks and make these requests.

Ephesians 2:17-22Dear Father, friend of the far and the near,I am so thankful that Christ came and preached peace to those who were far off and to those who were near, so that we both can have access to you in the one Spirit, that we can enjoy peace together. It is so wonderful that we who are not Jews no longer have to be strangers and foreigners.How good of you, Father, that we now can be citizens with the saints, that we can be members of your household, Christ's church.What a wonderful church! You built it on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure is joined and grows together into a holy temple in the LORD.Thank you that in him even I personally can be built into it in order to become a dwelling place for God in the Spirit.In the name of Jesus.
