In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will, that we who first trusted in Christ should be to the praise of His glory. In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory. Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers:
(Eph 1:11-16)
I made a commitment last night to a few of my Christian brothers to rise up early and take the time to do some serious praying at the outset of each day.
As I prepare to sit quietly before the Lord and listen to what He has to share with me, I thought I should take the time to pray for each of you on my blog list by name.
Thank you for your faith in Christ, and commitment to serve Him. Rest assured that this morning you and yours were prayed for. I lifted each of you up by name before our Heavenly Father and asked Him to do a mighty work in you.

And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
(Eph 1:14-23)
