It has been
paraphrased into the first person so an individual
can pray it for himself.
Father, the God
of our Lord Jesus Christ, I pray that you will give
me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that I
may know You better. I pray also that the eyes of my
heart may be enlightened in order that I may know
the hope to which You have called me, the riches of
Your glorious inheritance in the saints, and Your
incomparably great power for us who believe. I pray
that out of Your glorious riches You may strengthen
me with power through Your [Holy] Spirit in my inner
being, so that Christ may dwell in my heart through
faith. And I pray that I, being rooted and
established in love, may have power, together with
all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high
and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this
love that surpasses knowledge -- that I may be
filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
Now to You, who is able to do immeasurably more than
all I can ask or imagine, according to Your power
that is at work within me, to You be glory in the
church and in Christ Jesus throughout all
generations.
