Ephesians 3:14-19
For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, 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 breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.

Every family in heaven and earth derives it name from you. You are the author and finisher of our faith. The creator of the universe. We praise you for your glory and strength!
Forgive us for the times that we don’t even care to understand your love. So often we run from your strength and power. Fill us with your joy, with your fullness so that we can understand the height, depth, breadth and length of your love. Help our roots to grow deep in you.

I ask you that you provide Patty with strength and direction. Thank you for his energy and love of you. Teach her to trust you with everything. Surround her family and draw them to you. Give Patty the strength that she needs for her family so that she will be there when they need her. Give her strength and direction in the women’s ministry. Help her to know how to draw women to Sun Grove and to build their faith.

Fill her with your fullness so that she can understand the breadth and length and height and depth of your almighty love.
In Christ’s name,
Amen
