As we review Ephesians, reflect and pray through each of the following prompts.

Ephesians 1

Father, we thank You for choosing and adopting us in Christ. We are grateful for every spiritual blessing that we are graciously given in the gospel. Help us today to be reminded that in Christ, we are already blessed, redeemed, adopted, and sealed.

Ephesians 2

Father, we praise You that despite our spiritual deadness, You mercifully made us alive in Christ. Jesus, we thank You for the message of peace and the gift of grace. In light of Your good work on our behalf, help us to walk in the good works that you have prepared for us to do.

Ephesians 3

Father, we thank You for graciously making us stewards in Your household. In light of that reality, help us to be strengthened by the Spirit in our inner being and to be rooted in Your love as we seek to faithfully steward all that You have entrusted to us.

Ephesians 4

Father, we ask that you would empower us to walk worthy of Your calling. Help us to be a corporate body of believers that does the work of ministry, grows in maturity, speaks the truth in love, builds others up, and daily puts on the new self.

Ephesians 5

Father, we ask that You would help us to imitate You and to walk as beloved children of light. Jesus, we ask that You would shine Your gospel light in every area of our lives. In light of Your love for us, please help us to submissively love others in every one of our relationships.

Ephesians 6

Father, we praise and thank You for the victory that we have in the gospel. Holy Spirit, please remind us again of the gospel armor that is ours in Christ and empower us to stand firm in the gospel. Help both our posture and our prayer lives to be marked by alertness and readiness.
