Daily Prayer for April 17th, 2020
Good morning, God—thank you! 🙂
You so loved the world, that you gave your only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. There is no love greater than that. Holy Spirit, help me to love the way you do. You make your sun rise on the evil and send rain on the just and the unjust. Let me also love my enemies and pray for those who persecute me. If I say I am delivered, and walking with you, but do not have love, it means nothing. Thank you, Father, for your love that dwells in my heart. <3 In Jesus’ name. Amen.
John 3:16 English Standard Version (ESV)

Matthew 5:44-45 English Standard Version (ESV)
44 But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.
1 Corinthians 13 New International Version (NIV)
13 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
