Use Paul's Ephesians 3:14 in worship?
How can you incorporate Paul's example in Ephesians 3:14 into daily worship?

Pattern in Paul’s Worship

“For this reason I bow my knees before the Father” (Ephesians 3:14)


Respond with Whole-Person Bowing

• Kneel during personal devotions; the body reinforces the heart’s humility

• Pause to bow the head before meals or meetings, silently acknowledging the Lord

• End the day on your knees, surrendering victories and failures alike


Center on God’s Fatherhood

• Address God as “Father,” echoing Romans 8:15 and Ephesians 3:14–15

• Thank Him for adoption through Christ (Galatians 4:4-7)

• Let every act of worship flow from the security of being His child


Intercede for the Family of Faith

• Follow Paul’s pattern in Ephesians 3:16-19—pray that brothers and sisters

– receive inner strength by the Spirit

– know Christ’s dwelling presence

– grasp the breadth of His love

• Name churches, missionaries, and local believers, remembering “every family in heaven and on earth” (v. 15)


Anchor in Gospel Confidence

• Recall Ephesians 3:12: “In Him and through faith in Him we may enter God’s presence with boldness and confidence.”

• Approach worship boldly, not timidly, because access rests on Christ’s finished work


Let Doctrine Fuel Adoration

• Meditate on the unsearchable riches of Christ (Ephesians 3:8)

• Allow deep truths to stir affection, turning study into praise


Expect Overflowing Praise

• Close worship echoing Ephesians 3:20-21, praising the God “who is able to do immeasurably more”

• Anticipate His power to exceed requests, leading to spontaneous doxology


Sample Daily Rhythm Inspired by Ephesians 3:14

Morning

– Kneel, declare dependence on the Father, and pray Paul’s petitions for your day

Midday

– Brief head-bow, thank the Father for access, and intercede for someone specific

Evening

– Kneel again, recount God’s faithfulness, end with a doxology from verses 20-21

By weaving physical kneeling, child-like trust, intercessory focus, gospel confidence, and expectant praise into each segment of the day, Paul’s example becomes a living pattern of daily worship.
