My mentor told me to pray these
prayers everyday as much as I can. There was a season when I did and honestly,
I saw the change in my life. I understood the word of God a lot more and I got
revelation of God's word when I was studying. It was like things were so much
easier to understand and there was this joy and peace that came along with it.
I don't know, I guess when you understand something or get a revelation of
something- you'll be happy?
The prayer: (Ephesians 1:17-19 NKJV)
"17. that the God of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and
revelation in the knowledge of Him,
18. the eyes of your understanding
being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are
the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19. and what is the exceeding
greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His
mighty power"
I made it my own so it was easier to
read, understand and pray:
“God shall give me the spirit of
wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him
The eyes of my understanding shall be
enlightened to see His light
So that I may know what is the hope
of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in His
saints
And what is the exceedingly greatness
of His power towards us who believe accordingly to the working of His mighty
power."
I don't pray them as much as I used
to but fortunately today, God brought it to my remembrance to start doing them
again. I have it written on an A3 paper, stuck to the wall so that it will
constantly be in my face anytime that I am in my room.
To make my prayer more effective, I
decided to research what each verse means so that I am able to pray with
understanding and really pray out what I want instead of just repeating the
same point over and over again and get bored of it. You should try it J
