Oct 13 - Day 286. Pray for Width, Length, Depth, & Height . Ephesians 3.18-19

“May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.” Ephesians 3:18-19

In this verse, the Apostle Paul prays that we, along with all believers, would grasp the incredible magnitude of Christ’s love. The four dimensions mentioned- breadth, length, depth, and height- symbolize the immeasurable and unconditional nature of God’s affection for us. This love transcends human understanding and experience, offering a profound invitation to know and embrace a relationship with Him that goes beyond surface-level knowledge. 

As we meditate on these words, let's pray with an open heart and express gratitude for the depth of God’s Love. Let’s strive to be fulfilled with all the fullness of God. 

In doing so, we not only deepen our faith but also cultivate a community of love and support among the saints. May this understanding inspire us to share that love with others, reflecting the grace and fullness we receive from Him each day.

Good morning, everyone! Welcome to another episode of EBC’s Prayer Podcast. Today is October 13th, the 286th day of the year, and we’re truly blessed to gather once again. 

 I’m Dr. Victoria Haddad, and it’s an honor and a privilege to serve as the First Lady and Prayer Leader at Elyon Bible Church Apostolic in Salem, NJ. 

 Our scripture today will be taken from Ephesians 3:18-19. And it's read: “May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passed knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.” 

 Today, let's pray with an open heart and express gratitude for the depth of God’s Love. Let’s strive to be fulfilled with all the fullness of God. 

 Let’s pray

Dear Heavenly Father. Our Lord, God, and Savior. Father, we come before you today with our hearts overflowing with gratitude for your endless love. Your love is the cornerstone of our faith, a powerful force that sustains us through every trial and tribulation. It uplifts us when we are weary and enables us to stand firm in the midst of life's difficulties. 

Lord, we are praying with our hearts full of thankfulness, and we want to gain a deeper insight into your love, for your love knows no boundaries. It goes beyond human comprehension and fully surrounds us. It surpasses all knowledge and equips us with the ability to interact with others. It is richer than our deepest understanding. Your love is a beacon of hope, and it will pierce through every darkness that comes our way. It is a light that will guide our steps, especially when we do not know which way to turn. 

Lord, your love is a fire that burns within us, igniting our faith, consuming every fear, and driving out every doubt.

Help us to truly comprehend the massive extent of your love. Show us the breadth of your love that embraces every soul, no matter how broken, wounded, or lost we may feel. The length of your love that stretches through time, far beyond our failures, our regrets, our past, and our present, extending eternally into our future with your plans of hope and peace. The depth of your love that reaches into the darkest corners of our hearts to bring healing, cleansing, and redemption where we felt unworthy or abandoned. and the height of your love that uplifts our spirits above earthly struggles, every demonic attack, every anxiety, every limitation, and sets us in heavenly places with Christ Jesus, giving us a kingdom perspective above our temporary battles.

Lord, we want to overflow with your love, so that it is no longer we who live, but you - Christ who lives in us. Help us to walk as sons and daughters who know we are beloved, chosen, called, and set apart for a purpose. Let us stand firm in the assurance that your love will never leave us nor forsake us, and nothing can separate us from your love–not death nor life, not angels nor demons, not the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation can separate us from your love.

Lord, thank you for reminding us that your love has the power to break every chain of fear, rejection, depression, anxiety, and oppression in our lives. Your love will empower us to walk in boldness, authority, and victory. Your love will transform us from the inside out, renewing our minds, cleansing our hearts, and helping us to experience your divine healing, mercy, and restoration. Your love casts out all fear and gives us the confidence to live holy. Help us to be instruments of compassion, vessels of mercy, and ambassadors of your kingdom on earth.

Father, may we carry your love wherever we go, so others can see you when they encounter us. Give us courage to reach out, to speak life, to share hope, and to declare the truth. Let our words bring life to those who are weary. Let our hands bring healing to those who are sick. Let our hearts extend grace to those who feel unwanted. So, we can be a generation marked by your love that casts out fear, overcomes evil with good, and binds us together in the body of Christ with perfect harmony.

Lord, we want your love to become the power that increases our prayers, the motivation behind our service, the standard of our relationships, and the atmosphere of our homes. May this love revive our families, restore broken marriages, heal wounded friendships, transform our communities, renew our cities, and draw men and women to repentance, salvation, healing, and deliverance.

In the mighty, matchless name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we pray. Amen.

Everyone, I want to thank each and every one of you for listening to this prayer podcast. Please have a wonderful day. By God's grace, we will pray again tomorrow.
