My older brothers often use words in speech or writing that I have to look up\u2026or pretend I understand until I can find the opportunity to look it up. Their vocabularies far exceed mine. I tell myself that is not because they are more erudite than I am, but because they are much, much older (and so have had many more years to learn all those fancy words)!<\/span><\/p>\n

There is a benefit to their frequent pedantry, however. It often drives me to the dictionary (albeit sometimes in secret), where I learn new words and their meanings, which then quickly enrich my own conversations and writing.<\/p>\n

Something like that has happened over the years in my prayer life. I am far from a scholar, but a handful of Greek words I picked up from studying the Bible have changed my prayers and paid rich dividends in my life:<\/p>\n

1) Agap\u00e9<\/strong>
\n\u201cLove\u201d is a many-splendored thing, the song says. But in English, the word \u201clove\u201d can be so broad in meaning that it becomes practically meaningless.<\/p>\n

That is why I sometimes pray more specifically for myself and my loved ones to know and practice agap\u00e9<\/em>, the Greek word the New Testament uses to refer to the self-sacrificing, all-encompassing love of God.<\/p>\n

Agap\u00e9<\/em> is the word Paul uses to describe \u201chow wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ\u2026that surpasses knowledge\u201d (Ephesians 3:18-19, NIV). So I don\u2019t just pray for love in my life and the lives of those around me, I pray for agap\u00e9<\/em>.<\/p>\n

2) Charis<\/strong>
\nCharis<\/em> is a Greek word that means, \u201cgrace,\u201d \u201cfavor,\u201d \u201cblessing\u201d or \u201ckindness.\u201d It is the word that gives us the English word \u201ccharisma\u201d and is the root of the word \u201ceucharist.\u201d<\/p>\n

I sometimes use charis when I pray instead of those words (especially the word \u201cbless,\u201d which I have used so much that it has lost much of its meaning).<\/p>\n

I ask God to shower charis<\/em> on me and those I pray for. I ask for our lives to be \u201cEucharistic.\u201d I ask for a life of \u201ccharisma,\u201d of outflowing, grace-spreading influence to those all around.<\/p>\n

3) Dunamis<\/strong>
\nWhen Paul wrote to the church at Ephesus referring to God\u2019s \u201cincomparably great power for us who believe\u201d (Ephesians 1:19, NIV), he used a common Greek word, dunamis<\/em>. It is the word from which sprang our English words, \u201cdynamic\u201d and \u201cdynamite.\u201d<\/p>\n

So when I pray for God\u2019s power to be shown in and through and around me, I sometimes pray for dunamis<\/em>, because the \u201cdunamis\u201d of that word seems more \u201cdynamic\u201d than the oft-used English word, \u201cpower.\u201d See what I mean?<\/p>\n

4) Poiema<\/strong>
\nOne of my favorite Greek words was used by Paul when he told the Ephesian church that \u201cwe are God\u2019s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do\u201d (Ephesians 2:10, NIV).<\/p>\n

The word, \u201chandiwork,\u201d is a translation of the Greek word, poiema<\/em>. It is a rich word. It can mean \u201cwork of art\u201d or \u201cmasterpiece.\u201d The English word \u201cpoem\u201d comes from poiema.<\/p>\n

So, when I give praise and thanks for God\u2019s work in me or others, or pray for His continued craftsmanship in a life or a situation, I pray for poiema<\/em>, for His masterful artwork to be shown.<\/p>\n

5) Teleios<\/strong>
\nAnother word that expresses far more than any single English word is the Greek word, teleios<\/em>. It means \u201ccomplete,\u201d \u201cmature,\u201d or \u201cfull grown.\u201d It refers to something (or someone) that is a finished product or well-rounded outcome.<\/p>\n

Paul used it (again in the letter to the Ephesians) when he referred to the goal of Christian discipleship, \u201cthat the body of Christ may be built up, until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature [teleios<\/em>], attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ\u201d (Ephesians 4:12-13, NIV).<\/p>\n

So I will sometimes pray to get closer to teleios<\/em> in my life and for that \u201ccompleteness\u201d and conformity to the likeness of Christ to be shown in the lives of those around me.<\/p>\n

Just five words, like the five Hebrew words I shared in a previous post<\/a>, adds depth and breadth to how I pray. In fact, I can say that each word has changed and deepened how I pray, for myself and for others. I would love it if it does something similar for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
