Today’s prayer
Written prayerFather, I thank You for sending Your Holy Spirit to live within me. It’s Your Spirit that empowers me daily to live a life that pleases You. I thank You for the fruit of the Spirit in my life—the result, the evidence—that You are working in and through me. Today I’m especially grateful that You enable me to walk in love. Jesus, You said that the world would know that I belong to you because of the love I show others. So I purpose in my heart today to love others as You love them—freely and unconditionally. Thank You for the opportunity to be Your hands and feet, to love and give and serve, just as You did, during Your earthly ministry. Open my eyes to the hurting people around me and use me to be a force of love in the lives of those who need it, especially those who are the most difficult or challenging. Help me to give of myself today and to sacrifice for others who cannot repay me. Lead me, Holy Spirit, to greater heights and depths of love each day I live. I surrender all that I am and all that I have to You, to be used for Your kingdom and Your glory.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
