Ephesians 1:17-19
17I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him, 18so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints, 19and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of his great power.
Today is All Saints Day, the day when we remember all of the saints who have gone before us and who surround us still. The verses above from Ephesians speak a prayer for the spirit of wisdom and revelation, enlightenment, hope, riches of God's glorious inheritance, and the greatness of God's power. There are few prayers more powerful, and more moving.
As you remember the saints in your life, those who now rest eternally from their labors and those who labor in God's kingdom still, know that we pray this prayer together. Amen.
Peace,
Pastor Jenn
