For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen. The Holy Bible : English standard version. 2001 (Ephesians 3:14-21). Wheaton: Standard Bible Society.

I forget that my strength is from the Lord and not from myself. Paul's prayer in Ephesians reminds me that I am not only to pray this prayer (or one like it) for others but also to pray this prayer for myself. I also should invite others to pray this prayer for me. I need spiritual strength. I need strength to understand to greatness of God's love. I need to be filled with the fullness of God.

I, and others, are facing decisions about an upcoming trip to Peru. We need God's will and way with regard to this important ministry. Because of spiritual static it has been hard to hear exactly what God is saying. Sometimes I am shouting (internally) to loudly to hear God.

Pray for me.
