Heavenly Father,

Thank you for being a true example of what love is. Thank you for choosing us first. In a world where people want us to concentrate on revenge, being self centered, prideful and full of anger, you have taught us to love first and ask questions later. Thank you Father for your unconditional love.

Lord we come before you and ask that you teach us how to love. Show us how to pour out your steadfast love in all that we do. For in 1 Corinthians 16:14 it says “Do everything in love.” Lord we ask for your guidance and wisdom. Holy Spirit continue to direct our steps and whisper in our ears ways to love to our friends, family and enemies. Lord we ask that our fears will not take root nor will it replace our desire to show your love. Lord let us be known for our love towards others.

We ask all of this in Jesus name – AMEN
