And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God and God in him.
1 John 4:16 NKJV
My Lord and My God,
You are holy, high and set apart as You observe the ways of mankind, whom You have created. You look low and reach down to lift us up. All things are subject to Your will, even as You give us a choice to obey Your commands. Even still, You sent Your Son, Jesus, to save us in spite of the bad choices we make. You are love and You show us how to love through Your mercy and never-failing grace.Help us to live, Lord God. Teach us to love.
I thank You, Heavenly Father, for who You are and for Your willingness to be Lord of my life. I cannot live without the breath You give to sustain me. You have forgiven my sin and I pray to be a whole and useful vessel for You. As I fall short, I ask that You use the experience for my good. Thank You for bringing me to this day. Thank You for closing old doors and opening new ones. Continue to shine Your light on our darkness and bring us through. Bless us with opportunities that can only come from You. Grant us favor. Be with those who do not love and teach their hearts how to love, for even as I pray to learn to love more fully I often need Your guidance to truly do it like You do. But I am grateful to You for simply giving me the desire to love. Prepare us, Lord God, for the next endeavor in our lives. We need Your help to do anything right. Bless us, Lord I pray, with all we need to bring you glory.
Through Christ I pray. Amen.
