Prayer to Grow Closer to God

    Introduction

    Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts that long for more of You. Your Word says, “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8). Today, we desire a deeper relationship with You — not just to know about You, but to truly know You, walk with You, and delight in Your presence.

    Prayer

    Lord, create in us a hunger and thirst for righteousness that nothing else can satisfy. Remove every distraction, spiritual dryness, and divided affection that pulls our hearts away from You. Teach us to love what You love and to desire Your presence above all else.
    Draw us closer in prayer, closer in worship, and closer through Your Word. Let our hearts be sensitive to Your voice and our spirits aligned with Your will. As Moses spoke with You face to face and David longed for You in the secret place, let our souls continually seek You with sincerity and passion.
    Father, help us surrender daily — our plans, our fears, and our desires — so that intimacy with You becomes our greatest pursuit. Fill us with the Holy Spirit and transform us from the inside out. Let our lives reflect Your character, Your love, and Your holiness.
    We declare that our relationship with You will grow stronger each day. Our faith will be rooted, our trust will deepen, and our love for You will overflow into every area of our lives. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

    Conclusion

    Thank You, Lord, for drawing us closer to You. We trust that as we seek You, You will be found. Lead us into deeper intimacy, greater obedience, and a life that glorifies You. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
