Daily Prayer – 1 John 4:11-12
Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.
Daily Prayer
Dear Lord, help us to love one another by Your mercy, love and kindness. We have so little knowledge of those things that separate us from right fellowship with each other, and that separation makes room for the enemy to work and wreak havoc in our lives.
Today, we say no more. We stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ has set us free, that we not be entangled with a yoke of bondage (Galatians 5:1). We choose to accept the humaness and failures of our flesh, to release expectations of ourselves and one another, to forgive with the mercy of Jesus Christ.
When we forgive ourselves, we accept the mercy of Christ. Then we can forgive our spouse and others, and the mercy of Christ abides in us and flows between us so that the enemy is routed out and there is no more sin. Hallelujah!!
We stand together, arm in arm with You Lord and with one another in Christ Jesus. Thank You for uniting us to You and to each other in Your Holy Name. Thank You for the power of forgiveness. Amen and amen!
