Today’s prayer

Written prayer

Father in heaven, we come to you in Jesus name and we ask you to help us to understand your Word and understand this passage of Scripture in Luke. It seems so foreign to us, Lord, and it seems foreign to the Bible. But Lord, you are telling us that we need to love you supremely, and we need to protect our heart from any other rival loves that would want to crowd in. You have said the very first commandment You shall have no other gods before me. Lord, help us to love you with all our heart, all our soul, all our strength and all our mind. And help us to know your word, to know your truth and walk in it for you. For we pray in Jesus name, Amen.
