Personal Prayer
Praise Jesus for the depth of his redeeming love, which sent him to the cross for you (Gal. 2:20). Thank him for dying on your behalf. Confess any lack of love you feel toward a brother or sister. Commit yourself to remaining in Jesus’ love by keeping his commandments (Jn. 15:10). Ask God to show his love to you in new ways today.

For Your Family and Friends
Ask for God’s love to permeate all of your relationships with other family members and friends. Pray that Jesus’ peace will heal any tension or discord in those relationships.

For the Church
Pray that world missionary organizations will be effective in preaching and teaching the love of God in Christ to people who have never heard the gospel before. Ask that the mission personnel will be “rooted and established in love” (Eph. 3:17).

For the Kingdom
Pray that all of God’s children throughout his kingdom will exult in the great love which God has lavished on those who believe (1 Jn. 3:1).

For People to Know Jesus
Ask that the redeeming love of God will come gently to an unsaved person you know. Ask God to reveal a glimpse of his unconditional love through you.
