Do you ever have a hard time seeing things clearly? At night, there are moments between the time I take my contacts out until I place my glasses on that the edges of things are not as crisp. Sometimes, when I am needing to get to work and my car hasn’t defrosted enough, I look through the small area that is clear and begin to drive. After Paul addresses the glorious riches of salvation truth, he carries on from praise to prayer. He had just written to the church members at Ephesus about the results of being united with Christ.

He offers “A Prayer for Clear Vision.†|
