Day 21
Ephesians 3:14–19 (NET)
For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on the earth is named. I pray that according to the wealth of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in the inner person, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, so that, because you have been rooted and grounded in love, you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 3:19 and thus to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled up to all the fullness of God.
Abundance in Scripture is never disconnected from God’s work within us. In Ephesians 3, Paul does not pray for changed circumstances, increased resources, or visible success. He prays for something deeper — that God would strengthen His people from the inside out.
Paul kneels before the Father, acknowledging that true abundance begins with dependence, not achievement. What He asks for flows “according to the wealth of God’s glory,” not human capacity.
The source of abundance is not what we can manage, but what God supplies through His Spirit.
At the center of this prayer is a startling request: that Christ would dwell in our hearts. Not visit. Not pass through. Dwell. To take up residence. Abundance is not found in adding more to our lives, but in making room for Christ to fully inhabit them.
As Christ dwells within us, we become rooted and grounded in love. This is our steadfast foundation. No matter what the world may throw at us, we have hope because we are rooted in His love. Paul prays that we might begin to understand the vastness of Christ’s love — its breadth, length, height, and depth — a love so great it surpasses what can be known.
And the prayer culminates here: that we would be filled to all the fullness of God. This is the language of abundance. Not excess for ourselves, but fullness shaped by His presence, His power, and His love.

Prayer Focus for today:
God, do a deeper work in me. Help me trust in Your love and provision. Shape my identity around the foundation of Your love and goodness. Help me walk in the fullness You have in store for me.
