Summary
- A prayer for love asks God to let you know his love, to help you find or keep love with another person, or to help you love the people around you better; Scripture puts God’s love first: “We love him, because he first loved us” (1 John 4:19).
- There are 25 prayers: one short new prayer, then 24 older prayers on God’s love, loving yourself, a partner, family, friends, and neighbors and the wider world.
- For a single person hoping to marry, the Prayer for Patience While Waiting for a Godly Partner fits; for a couple dating, engaged or married, the Prayer for Wisdom in a Current Relationship.
- For someone hard to love, the prayers for Overcoming Judgment with Love, Loving My Neighbor as Myself and Reflecting God’s Love to Others fit.
- No prayer can make another person love you. Paul tells Christians to bring every request to God: “in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God” (Philippians 4:6).
- Jesus himself asked and then yielded: “nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done” (Luke 22:42).
