Today we are going to use a Psalm as a prayer to guide our thoughts as we seek to love others - for as we know, we cannot do this without God's help. The scripture below from Psalm 25:4-9 is from the NIV, but you might also want to read it in other versions - The Message is also a good one to try...
Show me your ways, LORD, teach me your paths.
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
For you are God my Saviour and my hope is in you all day long.
Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from old.
Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways;
According to your love remember me, for you, LORD, are good.
Good and upright is the LORD; therefore he instructs sinners in His ways.
He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way
Try to take time to ask God to show you and teach you his ways in how to love today - not only the person on your name slip but also others who you meet today, and see what God can do!
