Isaiah 55 Pray-ers
Praying through Ephesians
Salvation; Awareness of the need for repentance, forgiveness,
redemption
Ephesians 1:7
7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of
sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.
Ephesians 2:8-9
8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is
not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no
one can boast.
Live out their calling for His glory
Ephesians 2:10
10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good
works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Ephesians 4:1-3
1 … I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.
2 Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one
another in love. 3 Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit
through the bond of peace.
Pursue knowing God
Ephesians 1:17-18
17 I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious
Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you
may know him better. 18 I pray that the eyes of your heart may be
enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called
you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people.
Active prayer life; confidence in approaching God
Ephesians 3:12
12 In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom
and confidence.
Rooted, grounded, established in the faith, love, and power
Ephesians 3:16-19
16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with
power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may
dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted
and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the
Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is
the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses
knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of
God.
Actively maturing and working to build up the body of Christ
Ephesians 4:14-15
14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the
waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the
cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. 15
Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every
respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.
Live not in darkness but as children of light
Ephesians 4:17-19
17 So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no
longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. 18
They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life
of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening
of their hearts. 19 Having lost all sensitivity, they have given
themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of
impurity, and they are full of greed.
Ephesians 5:8-12
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live
as children of light 9 (for the fruit of the light consists in all
goodness, righteousness and truth) 10 and find out what pleases the
Lord. 11 Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but
rather expose them. 12 It is shameful even to mention what the
disobedient do in secret.
Instructions for Christian living
Ephesians 4:28-30
28 Anyone who has been stealing must steal no longer, but must work,
doing something useful with their own hands, that they may have
something to share with those in need. 29 Do not let any unwholesome
talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building
others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who
listen. 30 And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with whom you
were sealed for the day of redemption.
Ephesians 5:15-18
15 Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, 16
making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. 17
Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
18 Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be
filled with the Spirit.
Kept from unchecked anger
Ephesians 4:26-27, 31-32
26 “In your anger do not sin”: Do not let the sun go down while you
are still angry, 27 and do not give the devil a foothold… 31 Get rid
of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with
every form of malice. 32 Be kind and compassionate to one another,
forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
Walk in the way of love and gratitude
Ephesians 5:1-4
1 Follow God’s example, therefore, as dearly loved children 2 and walk
in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us
as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. 3 But among you there
must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of
impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy
people. 4 Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse
joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving.
Instructions for married couples and Christian households
Ephesians 5:22-25
22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the
Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head
of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the
church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their
husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ
loved the church and gave himself up for her.
Ephesians 6:1-4
1 Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. 2 “Honor
your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—
3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on
the earth.” 4 Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring
them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.
Put on the armor of God
Ephesians 6:10, 14-18
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power… 14 Stand
firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the
breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted
with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition
to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can
extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet
of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and
requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for
all the Lord’s people.
Share Jesus without fear
Ephesians 6:19-20
19 Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so
that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 … Pray
that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
