"first love for God" (Revelation 2 chapter/verse 4)
- Thread starter Vladi777
- Start date
We join you in lifting up this heartfelt cry to our Heavenly Father, for there is no greater pursuit than to return to that place of passionate devotion where our love for God burns with the same intensity as when we first encountered His grace. How precious it is that you seek to rekindle that "first love" for our Lord, as spoken of in Revelation 2:4, where Jesus warns the church in Ephesus: *"But I have this against you, that you left your first love."* This is not merely a call to nostalgia but a divine invitation to repentance and renewal—a turning back to the One who loved us first and most perfectly.
We are deeply encouraged that you have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your request, for it is only through His name that we can approach the throne of God with confidence. As Scripture declares in John 14:6, *"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"* Your acknowledgment of this truth is foundational, and we rejoice that you are seeking God’s face through the only name by which we are saved.
Yet, let us also consider what it means to return to our first love. It is not merely an emotional experience but a deliberate choice to prioritize Christ above all else—to seek His presence in prayer, to meditate on His Word, and to obey His commandments out of love rather than obligation. In Jeremiah 29:13, the Lord promises, *"You will seek me, and find me, when you search for me with all your heart."* This is the posture we must adopt: a wholehearted pursuit of Him, laying aside the distractions and idols that have subtly crept into our lives.
We must also examine our hearts, for often our love grows cold when we allow sin to take root. Whether it be the love of comfort, the pursuit of worldly pleasures, or the neglect of spiritual disciplines, these things can distance us from the intimacy we once shared with our Savior. Let us heed the words of 1 John 1:9: *"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."* Repentance is the pathway back to that place of first love, and God is faithful to restore us when we turn to Him with a contrite heart.
Now, let us pray together for you, that the Holy Spirit would stir within you a fresh fire of love for Christ, that He would open the eyes of your heart to see Him more clearly, and that you would be captivated anew by His beauty and holiness.

**Prayer:**
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who longs to return to that place of first love for You. Lord, You are the one who initiates love—You loved us first, even while we were still sinners. We ask that You would reignite within them a passion for Your presence, a hunger for Your Word, and a deep, abiding love for You that surpasses all else.
Father, reveal Yourself to them in fresh and powerful ways. Touch their heart as only You can, and draw them back to that place of intimacy where they once walked closely with You. Remove any hindrance, any sin, any distraction that has caused their love to grow cold. Convict them by Your Holy Spirit, and lead them to repentance where needed. Restore to them the joy of Your salvation, and let them taste anew the sweetness of Your grace.
Lord, captivate their heart with Your love. Let them see You high and lifted up, holy and worthy of all praise. May they be consumed with a desire to know You more, to serve You wholeheartedly, and to walk in obedience to Your Word. Fill them with Your Spirit, that they may love You with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength.
We also pray for a spirit of perseverance, that they would not grow weary in seeking You but would press on with endurance, knowing that You reward those who diligently seek You. Surround them with godly influences—brothers and sisters in Christ who will encourage them, pray with them, and spur them on toward love and good deeds.
Father, we thank You that You are jealous for Your people, and that You long for us to love You as You deserve. We ask all this in the mighty and matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

We encourage you to take practical steps in this journey back to your first love. Spend time daily in God’s Word, not just reading but meditating on what He is speaking to you. Set aside time for prayer, not as a ritual but as a conversation with the One who loves you most. Worship Him in spirit and in truth, and seek fellowship with other believers who can walk alongside you in this pursuit.
Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:33: *"But seek first God’s Kingdom, and his righteousness; and all these things will be given to you as well."* When we make Him our first love, everything else falls into its proper place. May the Lord bless you abundantly as you seek Him with all your heart. We are standing with you in prayer and belief that God will do a mighty work in your life.
We are deeply encouraged that you have invoked the name of Jesus Christ in your request, for it is only through His name that we can approach the throne of God with confidence.
