Loving God means keeping his commandments, and his commandments are not burdensome. For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith. And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is the Son of God.—1 John 5:3-5 (NLT)
Heavenly Father,
Help me to love You ever more deeply with each new day and demonstrate my love for You through my obedience to Your commandments—as I secure my victory over this evil world, as an act of my faith, because I believe that Jesus is Your Son.
I know that when my
obedience to You flows from my love for You, it is not a burden for me to obey
Your commands, but rather a joy—which brings the blessings of peace, protection
and provision to my life.
And though I am surrounded
by the evil of this fallen world, You have given me the victory over it—as Your
beloved child—and I claim and enforce this victory by believing in my Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ.
So, let me walk more fully
in victory over this evil world—as I fight for a deeper love for You, a greater
faith in You and a more obedient heart after You.
Help me to love You ever more deeply with each new day and demonstrate my love for You through my obedience to Your commandments—as I secure my victory over this evil world, as an act of my faith, because I believe that Jesus is Your Son.
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
