The Prayer That Prepares You For War

Before Paul talks about spiritual armor, he prays for spiritual vision. His prayer shows how understanding God’s calling and power prepares us to face real spiritual opposition with faith, confidence, and the Word of God. What if we stop living spiritually weak and start walking in the strength God already provided through Christ?

Ephesians 1:15 Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: 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 [f]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
