Prayer – for Love

Lord of life and hope and faith and love,

Help me to live – in the sureness of your presence.

Help me to live – in the certainty of your love.

Help me to know – that I am lovable, because you have shown me that I am loved.

 

And then – help me to love.

Help me to love – family, friends, neighbors

Help me to love – the poor, the outcast, the alien in our midst

Help me to love – as you have loved me.

 

Help me to see – through your eyes of love

Help me to love – with your heart of love

That I may love – even the unlovable

For through your eyes, and your heart, all are lovable.
