Heavenly Lord, you have commanded us to love one another, but sometimes even when we are pleasant to another person it is not sincere. Help us, we pray, to be sincere in choosing good over evil. Let our love and concern for others not be a sham. When we work for you, fill us with your Holy Spirit, that we might be committed and enthusiastic in your service. Let us live in your presence, and not get so wrapped up in our life that we forget about you. And may we be patient when diffculties arise and not give way to frustration and anger, knowing always that the result belongs to you. Let us not take offense at others, let us not be thin skinned; but shielded by the power of your Spirit, let us not hear insult where none is intended, and shrug off even the most intentional. In Christ's name, we pray this. Amen. UTUTU OMA. GOD IS GREAT.
