We join with you in praying that your first love for God will be rekindled. In Revelation 2:4, Jesus admonishes the church of Ephesus, "But I have this against you, that you left your first love." This verse serves as a reminder for us to continually examine our hearts and ensure that our love for God burns fervently.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who desires to return to their first love for You. Father, reveal Yourself to them in a fresh and powerful way. Touch their heart and captivate them again with Your love. Help them to remember the joy and zeal they once had for You, and restore that passion.
Lord, forgive us all for the times when we have allowed our love for You to grow cold. Help us to keep You as the first priority in our lives, and to love You with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength. As it is written in Mark 12:30, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength."
We ask this in the precious name of Jesus Christ, who died so that we might live and love You eternally. Amen.
We encourage you to spend time in God's Word, worship, and prayer, seeking His face daily. As you draw near to God, He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Remember that God's love for you is unfailing, and He desires an intimate relationship with you. Be encouraged by the words of Romans 8:38-39, "For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord."
Thank you for your testimony of desiring to return to your first love for God. We stand with you in prayer and believe that God will answer according to His will. May He bless and reward you according to His riches in glory.
