1 Corinthians 13

Read chapter

Dear God,

Thank You for Your love, which is patient and kind. Help us to show patience and kindness to those around us, especially those who are difficult to love.

Thank You for Your love, which does not envy or boast. Help us to be content with what we have and to not boast about our own accomplishments.

Thank You for Your love, which is not proud or rude. Help us to be humble and considerate in our interactions with others.

Thank You for Your love, which is not self-seeking or easily angered. Help us to put the needs of others before our own and to be slow to anger.

Thank You for Your love, which keeps no record of wrongs. Help us to forgive those who have wronged us and to not hold grudges.

Thank You for Your love, which does not delight in evil but rejoices in the truth. Help us to stand for what is right and to reject what is wrong.

Thank You for Your love, which always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. May we embody these qualities in our own lives.

Thank You for Your perfect love, which never fails. Help us to love others as You have loved us.

We pray all these things in the name of Your Son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
