Opening Hearts to the Spirit of Hope

HOPE: Favour

Verse of the Day: I pray also that the eyes of your heart will be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. - Ephesians 1:18-19


Lord, I thank you for this neighbourhood and my neighbours. I ask you, by your Spirit, to call each person in this neighbourhood into your body, the body of one hope, Ephesians 4:4. I proclaim and declare over each person in this neighbourhood your favour for the plans you have for each one are plans to prosper them, not to harm them, plans with a hope and a future. (Jeremiah 29:11) I pray Lord that by your Spirit you will grant them your favour by opening up their hearts, minds and spirits to your hope, the hope that is rooted in your power to give them comfort and encouragement, (Psalm 119:49-50); the hope that will transform their character and behaviour, (Ephesians 1:18-23), (Romans 8:9-11), (Galatians 5:5); that their hope will be in you, (Psalm 39:7); and that this hope will stimulate faith and love in them. (Colossians 1:5) I also pray that your favour will enlighten their hearts in order that they may know the hope to which you are calling them, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints and his incomparably great power for those who believe. (Ephesians 1:18) I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
