How to Pray for a Church (Ephesians 3:14-21)

In Ephesians 3:14–21, Paul pulls back the curtain on how he prays for the church—and it may not be what we expect. Rather than focusing on circumstances or outcomes, Paul prays for inner strength, deep roots in Christ’s love, and a growing grasp of the immeasurable riches of God’s grace. This prayer reveals what truly matters for the health and maturity of God’s people. As we listen in on Paul’s words, we learn not only what to pray for a church, but how God delights to work powerfully within His people for His glory and their good.
