Revelation 2:4

Nevertheless I have this against you, that you have left your first love.

Dear Heavenly Father,
You are the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. You are not the God of the dead but of the living. The One I pray to as David did when he left You his first love. Psalm 51. Have mercy upon me, O God, according to the multitude of Your tender mercies. Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is always before me. Against You, You only, I have sinned, and done this evil in Your sight. That You may be found just when You speak, and blameless when You judge. Behold, I brought forth iniquity, and in my sin my mother conceived me. Behold You desire truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part You will make me to know wisdom. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and gladness, that my bones You have broken will rejoice. Hide Your face from my sins, and blot out my my iniquities. Create in my a clean heart, O God. And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence. And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation. And uphold me by Your generous Spirit. Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted to You. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation. And my tongue shall sing aloud of Your righteousness. O Lord, open my lips, And my mouth shall show forth Your praise. For You do not desire sacrifice, or else I would give it. You do not delight in burnt offering. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, and broken and contrite heart. These, O God You will not despise. Lord, thank You for Your forgiveness and a new day to love You my Lord my God with all my heart, with all my soul, with all my mind and with all my strength. You Jesus are my first love, above all else. In You beautiful name I pray, Amen.
