That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
The Apostle Paul desired that the believers in Ephesus would not faint at his tribulations. It was his personal request. It was the thing he encouraged them in. It’s as if they had some individual ability to determine whether they fainted. They could, if they chose, honor Paul’s desire and continue on, despite his troubles.
On the other hand, the Apostle bowed his knees before God to ask HIM to strengthen them in the inner man.
- He appealed to them not to faint
- He prayed to God to give them strength
We need Christians who do more than keep on keeping on. We need Christians who do so in the power of the Holy Spirit of God.
