January 22 – Evening

Read

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

(1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

Pray

Dear God,

You are love, and I pray that You would help me to embody the qualities of love described in this verse. Help me to be patient and kind, to not envy or boast, and to not be proud or rude. Help me to always protect, trust, hope, and persevere in my relationships with others. I pray that You would help me to love others in the same way that You love me, unconditionally and sacrificially.

I ask for Your guidance and strength so that I can put these virtues into practice in my daily life. I know that I can’t do it on my own, but with Your help, I can grow in love and become a better reflection of Your character. Thank You for Your love and grace towards me, and may I extend that same love and grace towards others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
