Focus:
For My Love for God and Others to Grow
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, you have taught me that the greatest way to honor you is to love you with all my being. Help me seek you and know you more in these 21 Days of Prayer and deepen my faith in you and my passion for you. May I love you more daily as you draw me near to you. Then, as my love for you overflows, help me to love others as you have loved me. Help me live out the example of Jesus, who loved me even though I did not earn or deserve it. May I love others every day with that kind of love so that, through me, they see a glimpse of what your love looks like. In Jesus' name, amen.
Scripture:
“Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?” Jesus replied, “‘You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments.” - Matthew 22:36-40
Today's Next Step:
Write a prayer to God expressing how much you love him. Then think about someone in your life you find hard to love and ask God to help you love them as Jesus loved you.
