One Another

Empower us to love our neighbors and ourselves as you command. We cannot do this without your help. Give us understanding so that we may love those who do not share our heritage and history, culture or community. Give us the opportunity to network with others to build deeper and better relationships. Give us the grace to love ourselves as you love us with an everlasting love.

May your love crowd out all fear and cover a multitude of our sins. May your love continue to flow with faith and hope to make an unbreakable trinity of power in our lives. In the name of Jesus, Amen

God Help Us To Love Each Other

The Bible declares at James 4:8…”Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.” Please pray with me:

God, help us to love each other as You love us:
Loving through the layers of what we think is hidden;
Loving through the unspoken while listening to our empty utterances;
Loving despite contradictions of what we say and what we do;
God, help us to love each other because You love us with our faults.

God, help us to love each other as You love us:
Loving through our cover-ups;
Loving through our sweet utterances, yet dark hearts;
Loving through our lies spoken with “just enough” truth;
God, help us to love each other because You love us despite what you know about us.

God, help us to love each other as You love us;
Loving through our mistakes;
Loving through our intakes;
Loving through our outbreaks;
God, help us to love each other because of Your unconditional love toward us.

God, help us to love each other because this is Your message from the beginning: “We should love one another.” We ask these things in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
