What are your prayers like? Most of us have our list: financial needs, health concerns, relational struggles. These matter deeply to God, and he even invites us to pray for daily bread. But in Ephesians 1, Paul’s prayer is richer and fuller, like the feast of blessings he has just described in verses 3–14. He asks that “the eyes of our hearts” would be opened to truly know God, to see the hope of our calling, and to experience the greatness of his resurrection power. When we begin to pray this way, our lists do not disappear, but they are reshaped by something greater. It is a prayer that moves truth from head to heart, from information to transformation. Can you imagine what might change if we prayed like this?
