A life of love and joy
Savior, you carried the weight of the whole world's sins when you hung on the cross. I can't understand the love you have for me that carried you through that ordeal. I can never hope to repay you. Help me to lead a life of love and joy, knowing that my actions will reflect the gratitude I feel. Amen.
Fill us with love
Lord, you created us to be people with emotions. With deep regret, we admit that Satan often takes those emotions and uses them for his purposes. Take away all of our frustration, anger, doubt, and bitterness, and fill us with love, peace, joy, and contentment. We pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Loving others
God, how can I ever thank you enough for all the blessings you give? This day has again brought proof of your goodness. Trusting in your love, help me show the joy that I have because of what you have done for me. Teach me to love others as you love me. Help me be more patient and alert to the needs of others, and always ready to serve them with the gifts you have given me. In your name I pray. Amen.
Help me love my neighbor
Dear God, heavenly Father, the fruit of the Spirit is love. Please give me this very important Christian virtue. Help me appreciate the great love you have shown to me. Help me show that love in my life and actions. I love you because you first loved me. Help me love my neighbor, and think of others before I think of myself. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
