Prayer: The Love of God

   

How deep the Father’s love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory

            (Stuart Townsend: vs. 1, How Deep the Father’s Love For Us)

 

O LORD Almighty, You alone are God, and besides You there is none other. Heaven is Your throne and earth is Your footstool and somehow You indwell the heart of humans even though Your presence filled the temple until no room was left. Yours is the love that formed me in my mother’s womb and guided me safely into the world, grabbed me when I was straying from the course You chose and keeps me even now. Your love is incomparable and unconditional, beyond awesome and awe-inspiring, it sweeps me off my feet and keeps me grounded at the same time, it is more than I deserve and all I ever need, I have no right to possess it, yet You give it to me freely, it is a blessed love that both saves and keeps me and I would trade all the love in heaven and on earth for it. Amen
