"For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and
asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will
through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.
And we pray this in order that you
may live a life worthy of the Lord and
may please Him in every way:
bearing fruit in every good work,
growing in the knowledge of God,
being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and
joyfully giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light.
For He has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son He loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."

Paul's writing style presents these verses as 3 sentences including 23 prepositional phrases. Ugh. My brain works best in bulleted form, so I have to break up his passages to "see" the patterns. I'm enjoying a fresh look. I've swiped it, and I'm voicing this prayer for myself, my husband, my family, my friends, my classmates & my church. Thank You, Father.
