About Prayer
February 2012
Matthew 22:37–39 Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.(NKJV)
February has arrived again with
thoughts of love and Valentines. Love is all around. If it isn’t it
should be! That is truly what life should be about: LOVE. God’s
Creation was made because of LOVE. The Bible is all about LOVE.
God’s desire to communicate with us through prayer is because of
LOVE. God’s LOVE for his creation was the
reason he came to earth as his son Jesus. So all of us who He LOVES
so much would continue to live even though we are sinful
beings.
As we aspire to be Christians we should be showing that LOVE to all
around us , all we encounter in our daily travels. We should be
caring, nurturing, uplifting, encouraging, always positive and
always praying for others. This is what’s important. As you search
for LOVE prayers this is what I found:
Love Prayer
God, my Father, May I love You in all things and above all things. May I reach the joy which You have prepared for me in Heaven. Nothing is good that is against Your Will, and all that is good comes from Your Hand. Place in my heart a desire to please You and fill my mind with thoughts of Your Love, so that I may grow in Your Wisdom and enjoy Your Peace. Amen.
1 John 4:8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. (NIV)
Happy Valentines Day! Happy LOVE!
Prayer Vigil is Saturday February 4,
2012 in Grace’s sanctuary.
The front door will be open 10AM until 4PM.
