Two Prayers from Pauline Epistle to Ephesians

Ephesians 1:15-21 Prayer of Revelation 

For this reason after hearing about your faith in the Lord Jesus and the love which [you have] for all the saints, I do not cease giving thanks on your behalf, making mention [of you] in my prayers. So that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you a spirit of wisdom and revelation in His true knowledge. Having enlightened the eyes of your hearts that you would know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints. And what is the surpassing greatness of His power to us who believe according to the working of His power and might. Which He worked in Christ raising Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenlies. High above every ruler and authority and power and worldly ruler and being named over every name, not only in this age, but also in the age to come.

Ephesians 3: 14-21 Prayer for Deification 

On which account I bow my knees before the Father. From Whom every family in heaven and on the earth is named. That He may give to you according to the riches of His glory to be strengthened with power through His Spirit in the inner man, to settle Christ through faith in your hearts, being firmly rooted and established in love, so that you may be strong enough to grasp with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, to know also the-surpassing-knowledge-love of Christ, so that you may be filled to all the fullness of God.  And to the one who is able beyond all things to do quite beyond all measure of that which we ask or think according to the power which is active in us. To Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever, Amen!
