Dear Lord,

We come to you today with grateful hearts filled with the joy that comes from salvation in you. Give us compassion and love for those around us. Allow us to experience the love that you have for us so that we may be able to show that same love to others around us. Help us to live in unity with those around us and allow us to extend the same grace and compassion you’ve shown to us to those around us. Help us to understand that the message of the gospel is to be shared by all people and give us compassion to share that message with others around us. We love you and thank you for your grace. May our love for you permeate even the darkest of circumstances so that others may come to know you.

In Jesus name,

Amen
