Matthew 6:9-13
9 Pray then like this:
“Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
10 Your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread,
12 and forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
13 And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
dear lord,
I thank You for all the love that has been given to me
for the love of my extended family and friends,
and above all for Your love that you poured out upon me
You do not fail those who love you.
You do not change nor vary.
Teach me Your own constancy in love.
Your humility, selflessness and generosity.
Forgive the many times I have disappointed those who love me
if have failed them,
if I wearied them,
If I saddened them.
failing them I believe I have failed You,
and hurting them I have wounded my Savior
who for love’s sake died for us.
Lord, have mercy on me
Lord,
You are the Light of the world
teach me how to love
in the light of Your glory
amen
