Daily Prayer for March 20th, 2020
Good morning, God—thank you!! 🙂
O’ Perfect love, there is no love like yours. You are love! <3 Holy Spirit, help me to love the way you do. With a sincere and pure heart—let me love my neighbor as myself. After all, that is your second greatest command. The first one is like it to love you with all our hearts. I love you so much, God! I love you because you first loved me. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
