14 When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, 15 the Creator of everything in heaven and on earth. 16 I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. 17 Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. 18 And may you have the power to understand, as all God’s people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is. 19 May you experience the love of Christ, though it is too great to understand fully. Then you will be made complete with all the fullness of life and power that comes from God.
20 Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think. 21 Glory to him in the church and in Christ Jesus through all generations forever and ever! Amen.

"empower you with inner strength" This is a prayer I need to pray in my own life. I feel like sometimes my heart can be more of a hotel for Christ rather than a home. In my own life, I can definitely tell whether I am rooting myself in God or not by the fruits I produce, which have shown me the need to be digging into God's word and praying daily.
Verse 17 emphasizes the beauty of God's love, how we should get so lost in it and feel it pouring into us throughout the day. Because once we understand it, THEN we are made complete with "fullness of life and power that comes from God".

AMEN!! This is one prayer that we could be praying for each other everyday. Just go back and read it over a few times to let it rest on you a bit :-)

Please keep all comments respectful. We want to remember that each of us is at a different place in our walk with God. This is a place for us to share openly about what has been revealed to us as we open up Gods word and to learn from others. Please take every opportunity possible to build each other up in love :-)
