Praying for Your Children

Praying Ephesians 1:15-23 for Our Children 

15 For this reason, I pray for my children’s faith in the Lord Jesus and their love for all the saints, 

16 I have not stopped giving thanks for my children, remembering them in my prayers. 

17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give my children the spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that they may know him better. 

18 I pray also that the eyes of my children’s heart may be enlightened in order that they may know the hope to which he has called them, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, 

19 and that my children may know his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 

20 which he exerted in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, 

21 far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. 

22 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, 

23 which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.
