Week A
Stage 4
Daily Prayer
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
Loving Father, I gather in Your presence.
I invite stillness into my heart.
May I breathe in Your peace and breathe out all stress and worry.
Holy Spirit, speak to me through this time in prayer so that the ear of my heart may understand God’s will.

Cherish and Challenge:
Cherish: When have I felt deeply loved? Who in my life loves me unconditionally?
Challenge: Where can I see God loving me through those moments and those people? Am I aware of how He loves me through my experiences and the people in my relationships?
Loving Father,
Thank you for the gift of love. I pray that you would use me to share your love with others. Help me to live out love. Help me to live out a love that is patient, kind, without envy, without pride. A love that keeps no record of wrongs. A love that always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. May I be brave to love unconditionally.
We pray this in the name of love, Jesus Christ,
Amen
