The content of Paul’s prayer for the saints in Ephesus is that God the Father would grant them : The spirit of wisdom The spirit of revelation The sphere in which the spirit of wisdom and revelation may be granted is: In the knowledge of the Lord The mean by which the spirit of wisdom and revelation may be granted is that: The eyes of the saint's understanding being enlightened The purpose of Paul’s prayer is that the saints in Ephesus may know : The hope of the Lord’s calling The riches of the glory of the Lord’s inheritance The exceeding greatness of the Lord’s power The sphere in which the saints know the riches of the glory of the Lord’s inheritance is: In the saints The destination of the exceeding greatness of the Lord’s power is: Toward us, who believe The standard by which we exercise faith is: According to the working of the Lord’s mighty power Dear Father, grant the believers I fellowship with the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. More about Jesus would I know, More of His grace to others show; More of His saving fullness see, More of His love who died for me. More, more about Jesus, More, more about Jesus; More of His saving fullness see, More of His love who died for me. More about Jesus let me learn, More of His holy will discern; Spirit of God my teacher be, Showing the things of Christ to me. More about Jesus; in His Word, Holding communion with my Lord; Hearing His voice in every line, Making each faithful saying mine. More about Jesus; on His throne, Riches in glory all His own; More of His kingdom’s sure increase; More of His coming, Prince of Peace. By Eliza Edmunds Hewitt
