Dear Lord, we celebrate the reality that You pursue a continuing love relationship with us that is real and personal! You designed us for intimate fellowship with You. May we be convinced that You love us and that Your connection with us creates the greatest relationship, the highest achievement, and the noblest position in life. Help us to live in the overflow of Your love for us and our love for You—spending time in Your Word and in prayer. Enable us to also express our love through obedience. When we wander from You, bring us back to our First Love. Make us more aware of the real, personal, and practical nature of Your love.

Prayer adapted from Second Reality of Experiencing God by Henry & Richard Blackaby
