Thursday's bonus

I'm working through the Design for Discipleship material from IVP and this week's focus is on prayer. One question points to Ephesians 3:14-21 and asks us to compile a list of some requests we can prayer for others as well as ourselves. Here's my basic list

1. Inner strength (from the Spirit not from self-esteem)
2. Christ to dwell in your heart
3. To be rooted and grounded in love
4. To comprehend the love of Christ
5. To be filled with the fullness of God

Then this prayer is given:

"Lord, I pray that the depth of my intimacy with You will increase beyond my wildest imagination over the next twelve months!"

May God answer that prayer in us and for all those we are praying.
