Scripture

Ephesians 1.15-23

Time of Reflection and Prayer

Spend time reflecting on what you have read and communing with God.

Benediction

Give me O Lord, I pray Thee; firm faith, unwavering hope, perfect charity.
Pour into my heart the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and
spiritual strength, the Spirit of knowledge and true godliness, and the Spirit of Thy holy
fear. Light eternal, shine in my heart. Power eternal, deliver me from evil. Wisdom
eternal, scatter the darkness of my ignorance. Might eternal, pity me. Grant that I may
ever seek Thy face with all my heart and soul and strength; and, in thine infinite mercy,
bring me at last to Thy holy presence where I shall behold Thy glory and possess Thy
promised joys.
