Deepening Our Love for God and Others

Prayer and Journaling:

Today, as we continue our devotional journey through love, we focus on prayer and journaling—two powerful ways to grow in our relationship with God and deepen our love for others.

The Power of Prayer in Love

Love isn’t always easy. There are times when our hearts feel heavy, relationships feel strained, and we struggle to love as Christ does. But through prayer, God strengthens us, reshapes our hearts, and teaches us how to love beyond our own limitations.

1 John 4:7 reminds us:
“Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.”

As we pray, we align ourselves with God’s love, allowing it to flow through us so we can love others more fully.

A Prayer for Deepening Love

Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your unfailing love. You are the source of all love, and I long to reflect that love in my daily life. Teach me to love with patience, grace, and kindness, even when it’s difficult. Soften my heart where it has grown hard, and help me to extend the same mercy You so freely give.

Lord, I surrender my relationships to You—my family, friends, and even those I struggle to love. Let my words and actions be filled with Your love, pointing others to You.

Most of all, deepen my love for You. May my heart desire Your presence above all else, and may my life be a testimony of Your goodness.

In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
