The Hope to Which He Called You

This week we’re going to pray blessings over our sons and daughters by praying benedictions from scripture. These powerful prayers put into words what our hearts desire for them. Today, as you pray, meditate on these words and… why not pray them more than once?

Ephesians 1:18-23

“I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people,  and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”
