This is a beautiful and essential prayer, asking for the very essence of God—His love—to be poured into our hearts by His Spirit. It is a prayer He delights to answer.
Here is a poem and a prayer for that deep desire.

The Divine Infusion
Not just a feeling, not a trace, But Your own presence in this place. Not just a theory we believe, But what we desperately receive.
...God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. (Romans 5:5)
Holy Spirit, we invite You now, Before Your presence,we humbly bow. We are so dry,so parched, so thin, Send Your love,come dwell within.
Send it like a river, rushing deep, To wake the soul that is asleep. Send it like a fire,burning clear, To melt away our doubt and fear.
Send it like a balm, a healing grace, To find its way to every place— The broken trust,the hidden pain, Make us whole and new again.
This love is patient, kind, and true, It sees the best and carries through. It is not proud,it holds no score, It always hopes,forevermore.
[Love] always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:7-8)
So saturate our weary days, With overwhelming,loving ways. Let it spill from us to all, Answering a broken world’s call.
For we cannot love on our own, From a heart that’s turned to stone. We need Your love to start the flow, So others too may come to know.
Holy Spirit, send Your love, From Your great throne in heaven above. Fill our lives,and make us whole, Let Love Himself restore our soul.
Amen.
