Ephesians 1
Blessed be Your Name, oh God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ
Thank You for blessing us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ
Help us to be holy and without blame before You in love
Thank You for our redemption through Your blood, for the forgiveness of our sins, according to the riches of Your grace which You made to abound toward us in all wisdom and prudence, having made known to us the mystery of Your will, according to Your good pleasure which You purposed in Yourself, that in the dispensation of the fullness of the times You might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven and which are on earth—in Christ
Thank You that we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of You who works all things according to the counsel of Your will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of Your Glory. In You we have trusted, now that we have heard the word of truth, the gospel of our salvation
Thank You for sealing us with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession
Give to us the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of You, the eyes of our understanding being enlightened, that we may know what is the hope of Your calling, what are the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of Your power toward us who believe, according to the working of Your mighty power which You worked in Christ when You raised Him from the dead and seated Him at Your right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come
Ephesians 2
Help us not to fulfil the desires of the flesh and of the mind
Thank You for Your rich mercy, and great love with which You loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses
Thank You for making us alive together with Christ and raising us up together, and making us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus
Thank You for showing us the exceeding riches of Your grace in Your kindness toward us in Christ Jesus
Help us to do the good works, we were created in Christ Jesus for, which You prepared beforehand that we should walk in them
Build us to be a dwelling place of God in the Spirit
Ephesians 3
Help us to steward Your grace well. Make known to us Your mysteries by revelation
Give us insight into the mystery of Christ
Jesus Christ, help us to know Your unsearchable riches - illuminate to us the stewardship of this mystery
Through us, let the manifold wisdom of God be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to the eternal purpose that You accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord
In Jesus Christ and through faith in Jesus Christ, may we enter Your presence with boldness and confidence
Out of the riches of Your glory, may You strengthen us with power through Your Spirit in our inner being, so that Christ may dwell in our hearts through faith
Let us, being rooted and grounded in love, have power, together with all the saints, to comprehend the length and width and height and depth of the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge, that we may be filled with all the fullness of God
Ephesians 4
May we walk worthy of the calling with which we were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
May we become who You created us to be; some apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers. May we equip the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God.
May we grow to perfect people, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ; that we should no longer be children, tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, in the cunning craftiness of deceitful plotting.
May we speak the truth in love, may we grow up in all things into You who is the head—Christ— from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.
May we put off, concerning our former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according to the deceitful lusts, and be renewed in the spirit of our mind, and that we put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.
May we put away lying. Let each one of us speak truth with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. May we be angry, and not sin. Let the sun not go down on our wrath, nor give place to the devil.
May we labor, working with our hands what is good, that we may have something to give those who have need.
Let no corrupt word proceed out of our mouths, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.
May we not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom we were sealed for the day of redemption.
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from us, with all malice. And let us be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave us.
Ephesians 5
May we be imitators of God as dear children.
May we walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma.
Let fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, not even be named among us, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.
May we walk as children of light finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.
May we have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them.
May we walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
May we not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is.
May we not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit, speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in our hearts to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to You, oh God in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
