Daily Prayer

Heavenly Father, You made us in Your image. We are able to know You and worship You. We know that You are good and You are love. As we turn our life over to You, we, too, learn to love - to love as You love. A love of complete sacrifice.

We long for a world full of love, but the world we are in is marked by hatred and war. It is killing us! Thank You for Your Son, the Prince of Peace, and Your Holy Spirit, our Guide and Counselor, who teaches us to love the way You love. It is the way of life, the abundant life of Your Kingdom.

Amen.
