This Is Love For God: To Obey His Commands

The purposes of this prayer are: Obedience and Increased Faith.

Merciful Father, we pray that you help us to completely obey your commands. John told his readers: “Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves his child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.” 1 John 5:1–5 (NIV). Lord, we believe that Jesus is the Son of God. Help our unbelief! Amen.
