It was my brother's birthday yesterday (Feb. 24) and I called to wish him well. The irony of the conversation was that, it being his birthday, he was the one with a gift for me.
He shared a prayer with me that I would like to share with everyone here:

Ephesians 1:16-20

16 Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in My prayers;
17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge of Him:
18 The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
19 And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power,
20 Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places...


Ephesians 3:14-21

14 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man;
17 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
20 Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.


If reading to one's self, it might be helpful to change the point-of-view that the prayer is written in:

Cease not to give thanks for me, making mention of myself in Your (God's) prayers;
That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto me the Spirit of Wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge of Him:
The eyes of my understanding being enlightened; that I may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,
And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power,
Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at his own right Hand in the heavenly places...
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
That He would grant me, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
That Christ may dwell in our hearts by faith; that I, being rooted and grounded in love,
May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that I might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Now unto Whomever that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that We ask or think, according to the power that worketh in Us,
21 Unto Them be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
