The answer

There is no harm in the supplication "O Allah, make my love for those who obey You an accepted intercession for those who disobey You," for loving believers is an act of worship, and this supplication is a means of seeking intercession through a righteous deed. Nevertheless, it is preferable to use the supplications authentically narrated from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and not to adopt non-narrated supplications as fixed litanies unless their authenticity is confirmed. Furthermore, relying solely on this supplication without repentance and good deeds is insufficient, for Allah recompenses the wrongdoer and forgives the repentant.
