Day 24 of 100
“The mountains may disappear, and the hills may become dust, but my faithful love will never leave you. I will make peace with you, and it will never end.” The Lord who loves you said this. – Isaiah 54:10 (ERV)
Our agape God, full of favor, peace, and mercy, we bring your people to you and those who have never known you, and we ask you to give them the full and complete and personal knowledge of your free and lavish love.
Father, we seek your very essence, the truth and source and heart of all that exists in you and because of you. We seek your love. Not just the experience but the understanding of it and how you share it, pour it on, shake it out, and make it continually unrestrainedly available to us. Please show us who you are in great and frequent demonstrations of your love. Please open our hearts and minds and spirits to be witnesses who can discern you, grasp your goodness, recognize your handiwork and presence, and accept your generous companionship. Lord, please let your love be the master of our lives. May your love become a moment-by-moment worship party for us. Please let love rule us relentlessly, so we have no other option but to bask and receive, taste and see, announce and affirm that you are love and your love is with is and is in us and that we are loved and we love too. Please let your love wash us free, anoint us, change us, and fill us to the brim and to overflowing, so that your love in us becomes love in and for and over and with others.
We thank you, Father, for loving us. We thank you for the knowledge of your love. We thank you that we constantly feel and are daily nearer to you and your love. We thank you that your love covers wrongs and sets right. We thank you that you and your love fill us and never leave us. We decree that we are loved! We declare that we know God’s great love! We glorify you as we glory in your everlasting love!
In the name of the Creator and Gifter of Love and the one who demonstrated his perfect love by dying for us before we ever knew him, we declare your extravagant love permanently and completely present and famously known and shown in us your people. Yes, indeed it is!
And I pray that Christ will be more and more at home in your hearts, living within you as you trust in him. May your roots go down deep into the soil of God’s marvelous love; and may you be able to feel and understand, as all God’s children should, how long, how wide, how deep, and how high his love really is; and to experience this love for yourselves, though it is so great that you will never see the end of it or fully know or understand it. And so at last you will be filled up with God himself. – Ephesians 3:17-19 (TLB)
