Teach me

Dear God,

Oh Lord, teach me to love you

more than anything in this world,

more than money,

more than sexual desire,

more than stuff that I have gained,

more than things that soon will pass away.

Forgive me that a lot of times

I've failed to love you as my ultimate treasure,

but you keep showing up in my life

to show your love for me.

Teach me O Lord, so I can live this life

according to your will not my own will.

Teach me to embrace the gospel,

let not the worldliness consume my heart and my soul.

O how marvelous are your deeds O Lord,

and how gracious are your disciplines.

Teach me again O Lord to love you,

more and more...

Amen.
