I BOW MY KNEES

For this cause, I bow my knees to YOU MY FATHER, the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ,

from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

that YOU would grant me, according to the riches of YOUR glory,                                  that I may be strengthened with power through YOUR Spirit in the inward man;

that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith; to the end                                  that I, being rooted and grounded in love,

may be strengthened to comprehend with all the saints                                                                                 what is the breadth and length and height and depth,

and to know Christ`s love which                                .                                                                                                 surpasses knowledge,                                  that I may be filled to all the fullness of YOU MY God.

Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all                                  that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us,

to him be the glory in the assembly and in Christ Jesus                                                                         to all generations forever and ever. Amen.
