Morning Prayer for Today – Fill Me With Your Love

Precious Holy Spirit, 

Thank You for loving me. 

You don’t love me because I deserve it. You have loved me even before I came to realise and acknowledge You.

You are the gift of the Father’s love to me. You are love, and You live in me. 

I admit that sometimes I forget that You are here. I often allow my human emotions to lead me, keeping me from expressing your character of love in my heart.

But I come to You today and ask that You fill my heart with Your love, Lord.

Your Word promises in Ezekiel 36:26:

And I will give you a new heart—I will give you new and right desires—and put a new spirit within you. I will take out your stony hearts of sin and give you new hearts of love.

Lord, I receive a heart of love today. Even on days when my flesh wants to go against expressing love, I will lean into Your love until it finds full expression.

I declare I have the right desires and a spirit that conforms to Christ’s nature.

I am contemplating Your Word in Luke 10:27:

And he answered, 

“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbor as yourself.”

Holy One, I pray for a heart filled with love for You and everyone around me.

Let my thoughts and actions towards others not speak contrary to love, but let it come from a heart filled with love expressed by you only.

This I ask in Jesus’ name.

Amen.
