Prayer to love God above all

Though I am imperfect, You O LORD continue to love me wholly. Though I blow it repeatedly, You continue to shower me with unfailing love. I am amazed merciful Father, by the countless ways You manifest undeserved love to the rejected, the flawed, and the broken people of this world. Don’t allow me Holy Spirit to fall into the trap of the devil who seeks to distract me from unwavering devotion to God. Give me a passion to put God first by loving Him with all my heart, all my soul, and all my mind. Guide people across my path today who are idolizing money, people, work or material things instead of God. Allow me to be a source of care and truth by sharing this first and greatest commandment. Give them a new heart that longs to put God first. In Jesus’ mighty name.
