Knowing God Deeply

📖 Reading: Ephesians 1:15–23

📝 Devotional:

Paul begins his prayer not by asking for things, but by praying that believers would know God more deeply. This is more than intellectual agreement or doctrinal accuracy — it’s experiential, relational, and transformative. He prays that “the eyes of your heart may be enlightened” (v.18), revealing that spiritual sight is just as critical as physical vision.

Just like a newborn's eyesight develops over time, our spiritual sight must mature. We start seeing life — and God — with clarity. This kind of knowing leads us beyond surface-level faith into a life shaped by God’s wisdom, love, and presence.

This prayer challenges our self-sufficiency and cultural distractions. We don't need better techniques — we need revelation. Ask the Holy Spirit to open your heart today.

❓ Reflection Question:

Where in your life do you tend to rely on knowledge or control instead of knowing and trusting God personally?

✅ Practical Application:

Create a quiet space today. Pray this prayer: “Lord, open the eyes of my heart. Let me see You as You are.” Then spend 10 minutes observing God’s presence in your surroundings or journaling about His nearness.
