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 my worries.
Holy Spirit, speak to me through this time in prayer so that I can hear God’s voice in my heart.
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
