A Prayer for Enlightenment

O God of our Master Yeshua (Iesou) Your Anointed One,
Grant us the spirit of wisdom and revelation
in the knowledge of You, God,
That the eyes of our understanding be enlightened,
That we may know
what is the hope of Your calling,
what are the riches of the glory of Your inheritance in the saints and
what is the exceeding greatness of Your power
toward us who believe,

According to the working of your mighty power
which You worked in Your Anointed One,
when You raised him from the dead and
seated him at Your right hand
in the heavenly places,
Far above all principality
and power
and might
and dominion
and every name that is named,
not only in this age
but also in the age to come.

And You put all things under his feet,
And You gave him to be head over all things
to the Assembly,
which is his body,
the fullness of him who fills all in all.

Amen. Amen.
