“God, please keep my mind focused on you today. Let your love fill and guide my heart in every place I go, with everyone I meet, and in all the work I do.

You are good, and you bring goodness to the world. Your love extends to all of humanity—we are your creation, made in your image, capable of knowing and loving you forever.

Because of this, Lord, don’t let me exclude anyone from my kindness and care. Let me treat everyone I cross paths with today with the genuine, tender respect that belongs to your children.

Jesus, let your love for me be the model for how I love others. Amen.”

(based on a prayer of John Wesley)
