My First Love - A Nighttime Prayer

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.” – Deuteronomy 6:5

Please Pray:

“Father God, I love you so much and I long to make my heart Your home. Teach me to love you more deeply and to follow You more closely. As I go through my day, will You speak to me? Will You lead me? Will You guide me? I delight to do Your will, O Lord! Your Word brings inexpressible joy to my heart. Father, You are my first and greatest love. There is nothing I desire beside You. As I turn my eyes upon you, the things of this earth truly do grow dim. I choose You, Father, today and every day. In the matchless Name of Jesus I pray, Amen.”
