And you must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your strength. And you must commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these commands that I am giving you today.
—Deuteronomy 6:5-6 (NLT)
O LORD my God,
Help me to learn to live in that place where the love I have for You flows freely out of me, in wholehearted obedience to everything You have commanded me—that place where I truly love You with everything that I am.
Your Word shows me that it isn’t enough just to say I love You and then go on my way—pouring my heart into my own pursuits and disregarding Your will, Your plans, and Your purposes for my life.
Your Word cries out for me to have a love relationship with You as it commands me to love You completely—so that there is not anyone or anything that can take Your rightful place in my heart.
I want my love for You to burst from my spirit and flood my mind, will and emotions—so completely saturating me that, with every ounce of strength in me, I prove my love for You in my every thought, word and action.
Help me commit to love You that way, so that I can fulfill all Your commands and instructions—and experience the joy of living in Your peace, under Your protection, because of Your provision for my every need.
Help me to learn to live in that place where the love I have for You flows freely out of me, in wholehearted obedience to everything You have commanded me—that place where I truly love You with everything that I am.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
