Ephesians 1:18-19a

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe.

I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened 
Job 42:5  "My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you." 
2 Corinthians 4:6  For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ.
Hebrews 6:4-6  It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age and who have fallen away, to be brought back to repentance. To their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.

in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you 
Romans 8:28  And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

the riches 
Ephesians 7-8a  In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace that he lavished on us.
Romans 2:4  Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?

of his glorious inheritance 
Ephesians 1:11-12  In him we were chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to put our hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.

in his holy people 
Colossians 1:12  ... and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who as qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light.
