August 3 – August 9, 2026

Paul writes Ephesians 3:14–21 from a prison cell — and yet he kneels. Not in defeat, but in declaration. This week we slow down inside one of the most powerful prayers in Scripture and let it answer one of the most important questions we can ask: Who are you? You are a child with access. You are someone being strengthened by the Spirit. You are rooted in love too vast to fully measure. You are being filled with all the fullness of God. Each day this week, we open one layer of Paul's prayer and let it shape how we live, love, and follow Jesus.

Reflection
Paul prays that you would have strength to comprehend something that cannot be fully comprehended. That is not a contradiction — it is an invitation. The love of Christ is so vast it has dimensions. Wide enough to include you no matter where you've been. Long enough to pursue you no matter how far you've run. High enough to lift you out of anything. Deep enough to reach you at your lowest. And yet Paul says it surpasses knowledge — meaning you will spend a lifetime exploring it and never exhaust it. Notice he says this comprehension happens with all the saints. You were never meant to discover the love of God alone. It takes community to explore what no single person can contain.

Prayer  
Father, increase my capacity to receive Your love. Take me deeper into the breadth and length and height and depth of what Christ has done for me. Surround me with people who are exploring the same love so that together we can know You more.
