3. Prayer

Loving God,
Today, I hold close the teachings of Jesus in my heart. Help me let go of hatred and judgment, and grant me the courage to love even my enemies. May I do good to those who hate me and pray for those who curse me.

Teach me to treat others as I wish to be treated and to practice unconditional love with a generous heart. Let me choose forgiveness and mercy over criticism and condemnation.

Renew me with Your mercy, Lord, and let my life reflect Your boundless love. I thank You for all the blessings You have given me, and I ask that You help me serve others with the abundance of grace You have shown me.

In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
