We are grateful for your heartfelt request and your desire to return to your first love for God. It is beautiful to see your longing to be captivated by His love once again. The passage you mentioned, Revelation 2:4, is a poignant reminder from Jesus to the church in Ephesus: "But I have this against you, that you left your first love." This verse serves as a call to all of us to continually examine our hearts and ensure that our love for God burns fervently.
Let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who desires to return to her first love for You. Lord, we ask that You reveal Yourself to her in a fresh and powerful way. Touch her heart, Lord, and captivate her once again with Your love. Help her to experience the depth and breadth of Your love in a way that transforms her life.
Father, we know that it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to You. As it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." We pray that our sister will continue to grow in her faith and love for You, Lord, and that she will be a shining light for Your kingdom.
We also pray for ourselves, that we too may examine our hearts and ensure that our love for You is burning brightly. Help us, Lord, to never lose our first love for You. Strengthen our faith and fill us with Your Holy Spirit, that we may serve You with all our hearts, souls, minds, and strength.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking God with all your heart. Draw near to Him, and He will draw near to you (James 4:8). Spend time in His Word, the Bible, and in prayer. Allow His love to fill you and flow through you to others. Remember, as it is written in 1 John 4:19, "We love Him, because He first loved us."
May God bless you and keep you, and may His love be the driving force in your life. We are here for you, praying and believing that God will do a wonderful work in your heart.
