Abba Father, Hear My Prayer, Draw Me CloseSample

The psalms reach deep into our hearts and draw us closer to God. They can lift our heads, our hearts, our spirits! Prayerfully read the psalms; make them your own and speak the truths to your heart. Then pray the prayer provided in the devotional. Allow God to transform your heart by His Word and express your thankfulness to the Lord!

Abba Father, I love you. I long to love you more and more. I long to love you far above all else and all others. You are the one and only true God. You are truth itself. Great are you and greatly to be praised! Your greatness is unsearchable (Ps. 145). You are the creator of heaven and earth, the most wonderful, the purest, fairest, greatest, highest, mightiest, brightest, and best, not only in all the earth but in all creation. Oh, the depth of your riches and wisdom and knowledge, O God! How unsearchable are your judgments and how inscrutable your ways. For who has known your mind? Who has been your counselor? (Rom. 11:33-34)

You are beyond the ability to comprehend. You are holy, holy, holy. You alone are worthy of all worship and all praise. You are first in my heart and ruler over all in my mind and my soul. My heart truly loves and adores you. It is fixed upon you in awe and in wonder, full to overflowing! I want to pour out that fullness before you in ceaseless praise and thanksgiving day by day.

In Jesus' name I pray,
Amen
