A Simple Concept.

Ephesians 3:16-19
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.


Prayer is one of the simplest things. It just depends on what we make of it. Ever since the beginning of time, people have been expressing their thoughts to the Lord. We praise him and we curse him. We ask him to heal the sick and the injured and to provide us with job opportunities. The problem is that sometimes we can sometimes make something so simple and make it too simple or too complicated when really it should be somewhere in the middle. Prayer is simple once you get the routine down.

Life is extremely difficult nowadays. We have so much happening that we bounce around from point A to point B and often lose focus on the central authority who brought us into existence: God!

Do you ever feel the need for God’s love? Realize that God loves you all the time. Paul prayed that we wouldn’t just FEEL God’s love and presence. He prayed that we would KNOW God’s love and presence. It’s something that all of us need in order to give us that second wind to move on in times of discouragement.

The good news of the Bible brings us the vast love that God has for us. In fact, God’s word fights to dominate over the world’s distractions, disappointments, and darkness. May prayer go beyond all the power known to man and knock down all the walls to bring in the light, hope, and love of God.
