Kingdom Prayer Focus

Lord God, we thank you for showing us what love is. We have benefitted from our love relationship with you as we strive to pursue your love continually. We desire a love relationship with you, yet there are times when we falter. Our Christian walk has form and structure and looks good on the outside, but the inside is dead.  We find our faith is not as strong as it was and it feels like we lost our first love. Father, we cry out to you for mercy as we remember from where we have fallen, and we repent of those things that drove us to forget! We ask you for the fervent passionate love of Jesus to come back and permeate our hearts. We also ask that you help us to demonstrate that love with our Christian brothers so the lost and dying world will be drawn to you. As we take up the mind of Christ, we remember you, our first love. In Jesus name, amen.
