Humbly we ask that you grant that we be strengthened in our inner, deepest, most personal self with the power of your Spirit. May Christ dwell in our hearts through faith, as we are rooted and grounded in your love. And may we begin to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length, and height and depth of your grace and mercy, as we receive your promise and renew our commitments in your Covenant this day.
