Today’s Thought “Prayer Hopes” G. Ward

Ephesians 3:17-19

So that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; and that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled to all the fullness of God.

 

We’ve prayed for people in such a way to almost guarantee reprieve from trials – though our Lord insisted those same trials keep us reliant on HIS grip of grace. We’ve even exacerbated an unsanctioned familiarity with Holy God - so as to grant us long life in earth although HE prepared eternity for us. We’ve promoted blessings upon some, diminishing the truer substance of having Christ presence (unrelenting), to more contemplate tangibles as evidence of Heaven’s abundance; but nothing compares to extending our theme’s blessing upon those devoted followers of Christ; particularly since such persistent troubles from the world attacks God’s own (incessantly) and whereas these hopes and blessings are written for our compliance, some will continue to make it optional.
