A Prayer

I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:16-19

For you today and always, I
pray that you feel the Lord’s love,
an eternal peace which fills all of thee.
Now to Him who is able to
do much more than you imagine, the
Lord invites you to test the depth
of His encapsulating grace and
to experience the breadth
of His mercy that is deeper than the sea and 
higher than the greatest height.

“How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of being and ideal grace.”

- Elizabeth Barret Browning, “Sonnet Number 43”
