Welcome to Room 7! 

 I ask the Father in his great glory to give you the power to be strong in spirit. He will give you that strength through his Spirit.  I pray that Christ will live in your hearts because of your faith. I pray that your life will be strong in love and be built on love.  And I pray that you and all God’s holy people will have the power to understand the greatness of Christ’s love. I pray that you can understand how wide and how long and how high and how deep that love is.  

Ephesians 3:16-19 ICB
