A Prayer for Loving Jesus More

Lord Jesus, I want to love you more. You loved me first, even before I knew you. Stir my heart with love for you today.

Teach me to know you, and to want you above all else. When I am distracted, call me back. When I grow cold, warm me again with your grace.

Let my love for you show in how I live, in kindness, in patience, and in trust. Draw me closer, day by day, until my whole heart is yours.

Thank you for loving me without end. I give you my love, small as it is, and ask you to grow it. In Jesus' name, Amen.

When to Pray This

Pray this whenever you long to feel closer to Jesus or when your faith feels distant. It is a gentle way to begin a quiet time, start your morning, or renew your devotion at any moment.
