Father, we thank You for showing us real love. You’re the only reason we know what it looks and acts like. And despite experiencing the love that sent, suffered and saved—we still get it wrong when dealing with each other.
Jesus told us to love one another as he loved us. So why do we find it easier to judge and condemn one another?
Why do we strain to look around the timber in our eyes to see the toothpick in someone else’s?
And why do we spend so much time analyzing the sincerity of someone’s salvation instead of sowing your Word into it?
Father, help us understand that in Christ we are new creations. We died to the old person—born anew in Christ. And since You don’t dig up our old body of evidence, we don’t get to dig up anyone else’s.
Because Love covers a multitude of sins.
Help us busy ourselves celebrating all Jesus covered and cleansed believers of—instead of heaping dirt on each other.
And may we be so in awe of your love for us, we share it with others.
It’s in Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Prayer inspired by 1 John 3:11.
“I have no words right now.”
We’ve all been there. Life hands you a problem you can’t even put into words, much less solve. And whether you’re a longtime believer who’s discouraged, you’re new to faith in Christ or you’re wondering what this “Jesus stuff” is all about, talking with God about what you’re facing feels so far out of reach.
What if there were a way to making talking to God easier?
You may not know what to say or you may not want to pray. But if you’re overwhelmed, speechless, and confused about what to do next, Jesus wants to help you.
