A Prayer to Love Like God – Embracing Unfailing Love
What does it truly mean to love the way God loves?
In this deeply moving prayer meditation, we journey into the heart of divine love, drawing from 1 John 4:7, which reminds us:
“Love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.”
At its core, this episode invites you to encounter the transformative power of God’s love—a love that sees, heals, and renews. Whether you’re feeling emotionally dry, distant from others, or simply hungry to love more purely, this moment of stillness opens a door to spiritual renewal.
The prayer begins with a humbling confession: we are limited in our ability to love. Yet, God's love meets us first—even when we feel unlovable. From this foundation of grace, the prayer blossoms into a heartfelt request for fresh infilling of love, power, and mercy.
With reverence and clarity, the meditation describes what God’s love truly looks like:
Unfailing. Kind. Pure. Patient. Unconditional.
These are not merely poetic ideals; they are invitations—qualities we are called to embody in our homes, friendships, communities, and even toward ourselves.
But loving like God isn't always easy. This prayer also confronts the barriers that block our hearts: bitterness, jealousy, insecurity, fear. These are exchanged—through surrender—for compassion, understanding, and mercy. The imagery of cold hearts thawing under the warmth of God’s Spirit resonates deeply, especially for those who’ve felt numb or distant in their spiritual walk.
“Fill me with a love that forgives quickly, listens deeply, and serves humbly.”
This prayer becomes more than words—it becomes a mirror and a mission.
As the meditation closes, we are reminded of an unshakable truth:
Nothing can separate us from the love of God.
This divine love changes how we see others, how we see ourselves, and how we live.
Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, healing from hurt, or simply longing for more compassion in your heart, this prayer offers comfort, challenge, and clarity for the journey of love.
🎧 Listen now to be filled, softened, and realigned with the kind of love that changes everything.

Prayer for today. The prayer is for love. Spirit of the Living God, you are perfect, you are unchanging, you are everlasting. Thank you for loving me first, even when I was unlovable. Your word says in 1 John, chapter 4, verse 7, dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Father, we thank you that there is power in the name of Jesus and right now, lord, we ask you that the love of God will fill us afresh and strengthen us in the name of Jesus, that your mercy will rise and your favour will fall.
Speaker 0:Today, lord, fill my heart with love, with power and mercy. Your love never fades, your love never fails. Your love is kind, your love is pure. Your love is unconditional. Teach me to love like you, to forgive quickly, to listen deeply, to serve humbly and to care selflessly. Remove bitterness, jealous, fear feelings. Replace them with compassion and mercy and understanding. Where my heart grows cold, lord, reignite it with the warmth of your spirit. I need more love, I need more of your goodness. I need your mercy and your favor. Lord, you tell us that. May I be rooted and established in love, strengthened by the knowledge that nothing, by the knowledge that nothing, absolutely nothing can separate me from your love. You are a loving Father, a saving King, the God of grace, the God of mercy. Thank you, jesus, for loving me first, amen.
