Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus, lifting up Bocselion's heartfelt request. Lord, we ask that You teach us to love You as we are intended to. Help us to know and experience Your grace, love, power, and gifts in a deeper way. As it is written in Matthew 22:37, "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind," we pray that You instill this commandment in our hearts.
Guide us, Lord, to yield our lives fully to You, to depend on You for guidance, strength, comfort, wisdom, and power. May Your Holy Spirit draw us closer to You, transforming our lives and making us more like Christ. Let us be bathed in Your glory and fashioned into the image of Your Son.
We pray for an insatiable hunger and thirst for Your Spirit, that we may come into a deep, personal, and intimate relationship with You. Teach us to love You with a pure and undivided heart, and let our love for You overflow into love for others, as You have commanded us to do.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
