A Prayer about Living in the Love of God
A Prayer about Living in the Love of God
Lover of our Soul,
This Sabbath day, as we celebrate your love
for your Bride, the Church,
and our love and gratitude for saving us,
we pray for your healing and help
that we may love one another well.
In the past several years,
we’ve seen more disharmony in the church
than at any time in recent history.
Forgive us. Help us and heal us.
Our hope lies in you,
the God of “endurance and encouragement” (Romans 15:7).
By your Spirit, transform us
so we may live as your Bride, the Church,
in harmony with one another,
glorifying you (Romans 15:7-8).
One day soon, our perfect Bridegroom will return,
and we will all celebrate
at the greatest wedding feast ever enjoyed (Revelation 19:7).
By your grace, may we live and love
in eager anticipation of that day, starting today.
Read Romans 15:1-7; Revelation 19:7; Ephesians 5:25-27.
