Ephesians 1:1-2:10
Lord, You call us to live a holy life. We
cannot do this in our own strength. True holiness does not come from
ourselves. It comes from You. It comes from Your love. Your love reaches
us. Your love changes us. Your love is stronger than our sin. May Your
love inspire us to live a holy life. May Your love enable us to live a
holy life – a life that brings glory to You, the God of our salvation.
Ephesians 2:11-4:6
When You, Lord, are at work in us, everything changes. You save us. You sanctify us. You strengthen us. Help us to serve You.
Ephesians 4:7-5:14
Lord, You want us to “grow up in every
way into Christ” (Ephesians 4:15). You want us to “walk in love”
(Ephesians 5:2). You want us to live a life that is “pleasing to You”
(Ephesians 5:10). Why do we settle for something less than Your very
best? Help us, Lord, not to “grieve Your Holy Spirit” (Ephesians 5:14).
When we hear Your wake-up call – “Awake, O sleeper … ” (Ephesians 5:14),
help us to open the door of our heart to Jesus, our great Saviour”
(Revelation 3:20).
Ephesians 5:15-6:24
“Be very careful how you live” (Ephesians 5:16). When, Lord, You say
this to us, we wonder, “How are we to do this?” You say to us, “Be
filled with the Spirit”, have “reverence for Christ”, “love our Lord
Jesus Christ with love undying” (Ephesians 5:18,21 & 6:24). Help us,
Lord, to love Jesus – and help us to live for Him.
