God of Love,
We enter your presence through the abundance of Your steadfast love and tender mercy; we bow in reverence and worship you. We take refuge and put our trust in you; we rejoice and sing for joy because you cover and shelter us. May we who love your name be joyful and exult in you. For you, O Lord, bless your righteous children and surround us with favor as with a shield. We know that where the Spirit of the Lord is there is liberty and true freedom. Thank you for your invitation of Love into your Kingdom and into that freedom. Thank you that your love continuously transforms us into your image when we seek you and your glory. Thank you for the gift of your love in our lives; help us to love others as you have loved us. Fill us to overflowing with your love so that we can take the risk of loving others – even our enemies. Fill us with your Spirit and Love so that we become more and more like you, Lord Jesus. We pray in your name, AMEN.

I pray that he would unveil within you the unlimited riches of his glory and favor until supernatural strength floods your innermost being with his divine might and explosive power. Then, by constantly using your faith, the life of Christ will be released deep inside you, and the resting place of his love will become the very source and root of your life. Then you will be empowered to discover what every holy one experiences—the great magnitude of the astonishing love of Christ in all its dimensions. How deeply intimate and far-reaching is his love! How enduring and inclusive it is! Endless love beyond measurement that transcends our understanding—this extravagant love pours into you until you are filled to overflowing with the fullness of God! (Ephesians 3:16-19 TPT)
But as for me, I will enter Your house through the abundance of Your steadfast love and tender mercy; at Your holy temple I will bow [obediently] in reverence for You…But let all who take refuge and put their trust in You rejoice, let them ever sing for joy; because You cover and shelter them. Let those who love Your name be joyful and exult in You. For You, O Lord, bless the righteous man [the one who is in right standing with You]; You surround him with favor as with a shield. (Psalm 5:7, 11-12 AMP)
Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty [emancipation from bondage, true freedom]. And we all, with unveiled face, continually seeing as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are progressively being transformed into His image from [one degree of] glory to [even more] glory, which comes from the Lord, [who is] the Spirit. (2 Corinthians 3:17-18 AMP)
