We pray that we will love You, the Lord our God, and walk in all Your ways, keeping Your commandments and holding fast to You, and serving You with all our hearts, and with all our souls -Joshua 22:5.
Lord we give thanks unto You for You are good and Your mercy endures forever -Psalm 136:1.
Jesus, You state that the world will know that we are Your disciples if we behave lovingly toward one another. Schisms, disputes, unkind criticisms and defamation of character are contrary to Your spirit.
Your love is a sacrificial love (John 3:16). It is unconditional love (Rom. 5:8). Your love is constant and self-sustaining (Jer. 31:3). Your love provides for the best interests of the beloved, and You command that we should love one another as You have loved us -John 13:35.
Lord we present our bodies as living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto You for this is our reasonable form of worship. We also pray that we will not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of our minds, that we may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of yours -Rom 12:1, 2.
We pray that we will be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to others; not lagging in deligence, fervent in spirit, serving You, Lord; rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continueing steadfastly in prayer; distributing to the needs of the Saints, given to hospitality -Rom 12:10-13
