I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. 18I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you,

And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.

And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18may 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, 19and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23to be made new in the attitude of your minds; 24and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.

But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. 4Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.

Lord God my Father,

Your perfect Peace is the power to overcome all darkness. Help me to know you so I can allow you to have your way with me. Cause me to allow you to dwell in me completely. Your Love is so far beyond understand, help me to just allow it without question. Help me to put the past behind me so the present is pure in your desire. Help me to stand firm in resistance of my sinful desires of the past so the present is beyond my ability but a representation of you. Make me clean and new with every breath I take.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
