In this installment of the "Domino Effect" series examining Ephesians, Karl Ihfe explores Paul's vision of prayer as revealed in three prayers found in chapters one, three, and six. Ihfe contrasts our often limited, comfort-focused prayers with Paul's expansive prayers that remind believers of the extraordinary power available to them—"the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead" (Ephesians 1:19-20). Paul prays for spiritual wisdom, enlightened hearts, and a deep understanding of Christ's love that surpasses knowledge.

Ihfe challenges us to consider whether our prayers reflect an awareness of this resurrection power or if we've settled for prayers centered on comfort and entertainment. Drawing from his recent travels to Kenya and North Africa, he shares how believers in challenging contexts are experiencing God's transformative work despite difficulties. He invites the Broadway church to pray with kingdom perspective, asking God to use them to make a difference in Lubbock rather than limiting what God might do through them.
