Father, I fall on my knees before you.
I ask you from the wealth of your glory to give me power through your
spirit to be strong in my inner self.
I pray that Christ will make his home in my heart,
that I may have the power to understand how broad and long,
how high and deep, is Christ’s love.
For by the means of your power working in me you are able to do so
much more than I can ever ask for, or even think of.
To you, Father, be the glory in the Church and in Christ Jesus for all
time, for ever and ever.
Amen.
