Also see Bible Verses and Images by Subject.

Lord God, You created us equal and we are all fearfully and wonderfully made. Help us to see ourselves in others, so that we can identify with them and so love them. May evil be squelched out, for it has no place here in the Kingdom. We recognize that evil is rooted in pride, and in Jesus’ Name we cast it out—out of our marriages, out of our homes, out of our workplaces, our cities, governments and nations. We choose easy over position. It was Love that was lifted up for all to see—the cross. Help us focus on the cross, Lord, on the face of Jesus Christ. We put down our pride and instead take up the mantel of love. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
