Oh, continue Your lovingkindness to those who know You, And Your righteousness to the upright in heart. (Psalm 36:10 NKJV)
Abba, our King the Father, Most High God, You are deserving of the love that is given with a whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. You have loved us more than the love we deserve. Despite our disobedience to You, You come to us and show us mercy. Because of Your overflowing goodness, we learned to love You. Because of our love for You, we got to know You better. As we grow in knowing You, our love for You grows. Though we cannot see You, we feel real joy in our lives because everyday we feel Your care. You have not missed a single thing in our lives. Our love for You is motivating us to live in Your righteousness. Our holiness pleases You. Our holy life is the proof of our love for You. Therefore, our God, we pray to know You more, so we can love You more—more than the love we have for You right now. May Your care also abound in us, so we will always find the gladness in remaining in love with You. We pray all these in Your name, Christ Jesus, our great King and Savior. Amen.
