A Prayer for Wednesday, December 7, 2016

Love

O God,

As you come to us, please come bearing love.

We need to love more.

We need to love you more, so that we will give ourselves to you fully and freely.

We need to love the oppressed and marginalized among us more, so that we will share our lives with them fully and freely.

We need to love our enemies more, so that we will offer our prayers for them and forgiveness to them more fully and freely.

We need to love you and others selflessly, graciously, and sacrificially.

But we can’t have such love on our own.

So as you come to us, please come bearing love, because we need to love more.


Amen.
