Jesus, I Want to Love You (Prayer)نموونە

Dear Lord Jesus,

You have redeemed me from the dominion of death and darkness and brought me into your kingdom of life and light. Your mercy and grace have freed me from the prison of sin. Your loving kindness has knit my heart to yours.

Now I am yours, and you are mine. You are my Lord, my master, and my beloved. You are my loving, heavenly Father who loves me with a perfect love. Help me love you! Help me to see your face and hear your voice. Help me stand in your grace and under the fountain of your love. May your love and truth flow over, in, and through my soul. When despair, condemnation, doubt, or fear attempt to swallow me and threaten to bind me in their twisted claws, help me run to your shelter in thanksgiving and praise.

I love you, Lord Jesus. I look to you and you alone to accomplish your perfect will in my life. In you and in your name I rest. Help me walk forward with my heart set upon you and things above, not on things below. For I have died, and my life is hidden with you. I want to love you. I want to love you with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind, and with all my strength. I want your love in me and my love for you to be demonstrated in a longing to serve you and others and through my faithful obedience to you and your Word. May my sole desire be to please you as my Lord and my beloved. May I present myself before you as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to you.

Help me, by your grace, to know you and love you so deeply and dearly that you mean far more to me than the things of this world. I want to worship you and you alone. I don’t want to be formed by anything or anyone else other than you. I want to be one with you—my heart knit to yours. Grow your love and truth deep within me.

Thank you that your Word tells me if I ask anything in your name and according to your will that you will do it.

In your name, Amen.
