Ephesians 4

Father, today you fill me and take charge of my mind and my will, and with joy, I walk worthy of your calling on my life. I walk in humility and gentleness. I am patient and bear with others in love.

For in Christ all who are yours, father, are one in body and Spirit. We are one in hope. We have one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father who is above all, and through all, and in all who believe.

To each of us you give grace, Lord Jesus. You, Lord, have served our father perfectly. You have destroyed the works of the enemy. You have reclaimed all the goodness of this creation, and you hand it out as gifts to us who are yours.

You gift us as you see fit. Some to be apostles, prophets, evangelists, and teachers for the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry for the edifying of your body the church.

You, Lord Jesus, call us to the unity of the faith and to a real knowledge of you as the Son of God. You bring us to maturity, and you conform us to be like you, Lord Jesus.
