Most of our prayers are about changing our circumstances. But what if the deepest thing God wants to do isn't change what's around you but change what's inside you? In Ephesians 3:14–21, the Apostle Paul is sitting in a Roman prison when he writes one of the most extraordinary prayers in all of Scripture. He doesn't pray for his situation to improve. He doesn't pray for comfort or relief. He gets on his knees and prays for something far more radical: the complete interior transformation of the people he loves.

In this sermon we walk through Paul's five petitions: to be strengthened deep in the inner person, to have Christ fully at home in your heart, to be so rooted in love that nothing can uproot you, to know a love bigger than you can fully comprehend, and to be filled with all that God is.

This is the prayer that reshapes a life. Not overnight, and not without resistance. But the God Paul is praying to is able to do far more than anything we could ask or imagine.
