Personal Prayer
Praise God for his heart that is open, warm, loving, and kind toward all he has made. Thank God for reaching down to draw you to himself through his Son (Jn. 3:16). Confess the times when your heart has been unwilling to give to others the same out-reaching love that you have received from God. Commit yourself to learning the kind, patient love of God (1 Cor. 13:4). Ask him to fill you with a knowledge of the depth and breadth of his love (Eph. 3:14-19).

For Your Family and Friends
Pray for those marriages or parent/child relationships where love is lacking and where the home is a battleground. Ask God to heal their brokenness with his love.

For the Church
Ask God to make his love the hallmark of your church’s outreach programs, so that neighbors will sense the genuine interest and care of the family of God.

For the Kingdom
Intercede for the specific caring ministries that your church or denomination is involved in worldwide, asking that broken lives and poverty-stricken families may be helped.

For People to Know Jesus
Ask God to show you what act of loving concern you can do this week for an unsaved friend or acquaintance.
