Prayer of Faith

In his letter to the Ephesians, Saint Paul writes a prayer that we can make our own. The prayer is found in chapter 3, verses 14-21. To begin with, Paul says that he is kneeling before the Father and continues, "From whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that he may grant you in accord with the riches of his glory to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner self, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the holy ones what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God." That is a beautiful prayer and it mentions faith. How important it is to pray for the gift of faith and to know that our Lord is with us at all times. During this Year of Faith, that prayer takes on a special meaning because we want to renew and revitalize our faith so that our faith will continue to sustain us in the future. The holy men and women who have gone before us have given us an example of prayer and of faith. Pray that we may put these examples into practice and live them to the fullest!!! God Bless You!!!
