Worthy of it All

I pray that from the wealth of His glory

He will give you power 

to be strong through His Spirit.

Then Christ will make His home 

in your hearts as you trust in Him. 

Your roots will grow down 

into God’s love so that you may have 

the power to understand, 

how wide, long, high, 

and deep His love is. 

May you experience the love of Christ, 

that can't be fully known,

so you will be completely filled 

with the nature of God.

Eph 3:16-19

I am praying this portion

of Scripture over my heart today.

I want to be strong in my spirit, 

my trust deep in His goodness.

He makes His home in my heart

through this trust I have in Him.

It is my deepest desire to know Him

and the depth of His love.

Oh, Lord, that Your home would be

in the center of my heart.

When I look at how little I know of

the depths of Your love, 

it overwhelms me.

But Your "loving pity never ends."

It could say Your "raging anger never ends"

because we don't know Your love 

or trust in Your goodness.

But You pour "loving pity" on us,

new every morning,

and invite us to experience 

the depths of Your love.

I am so grateful for mercy.

I say this morning that I trust You 

and want every fiber of my being

to act in accordance with

the truth of Your goodness in my life.

I want to know You more,

trust You more,

love You more.

You are worthy of it all.
