Grant us your grace, O most merciful Lord, that it may be well with us. We are loveless people, and our hearts are cold. Does not our lack of obedience prove our hearts do not yearn for you. Our failures only evidence how low our desire for you is.
This is our failure God. Not so much that we have broken your commands in so many ways, but that our hearts have not sought you or clung to you. We have not placed you at the foremost object of our affection.
But we pray O God that you would forgive our deadness and cure the numbness of our hearts. Fill our hearts with your Spirit and breath your love into us, that we might be resurrected with love.
Lord, let your will be ours and let us always follow you. We pray that you might become our chief desire and our highest priority. May serving you be our delight and walking in your ways be no longer laborious, but the sweetest thing to us.
God, so much do we have to confess, but the source of it all is our lovelessness. We do pray that all might be pardoned and that Christ’s sacrifice might be sufficient to cover it. Moreover we pray that we might be bound by your grace to hold on to you and cherish you.
