Filled

I pray that out of the glorious richness 

of His resources He will enable you 

to know the strength of 

the spirit’s inner re-inforcement—

that Christ may actually live 

in your hearts by your faith...

May you be filled though all your being 

with God himself!

Eph 3:18-19

Though Paul was writing to the church at Ephesus,

the Holy Spirit was writing to the universal Ephesian--

I pray these words over myself today.

Lord, enable me to know how strong 

the inner re-inforcements 

of the spirit are in my life;

I want Christ to actually live this day

in my heart through a faith that is 

alive and ever increasing.

I want to be more aware of this holy presence

that I might not live for myself or become fearful 

when circumstances arise.

Oh, that I would know.

You have given me Your Son 

that He might live His life through mine.

I want to be completely filled!

I don't want to engage life today

without the knowledge 

that You live through me.

I am Your dwelling place.

You say to me, Remain in Me and 

I will remain in you.

I know that I know this.

But every day I want to know it more.

If I remain in You, 

my life will bear much fruit.

I am desperate for more of You

that I might be filled through 
all my being with Your life.

I am increasingly aware that 
my own life can never be enough.
