Dear Heavenly Father,
In the spirit of Valentine’s Day, the time of year when people all over show others that they are loved I pray for Your help and guidance in being more loving. Teach me how to show and give continuous love to the people in my life. Help me to understand how each person I love most feels loved. Help me to give others love in a way they can receive it not just in the way I know to give it. Help me to pour so much love into my family, friends, and associates’ “cups” that their cups runneth over with love. Lord, sometimes I want to withhold my love when I feel wronged, neglected, or abandoned. Sometimes, I’m so focused on not receiving love myself that I don’t acknowledge or make an effort to give away my love. During these times, Lord, I pray that you would remind and encourage me to give love freely and deeply. Release me of my fear of love. Please forgive me for making my love and acts of love conditional despite being loved unconditionally by You. I pray that you touch my heart and show me how to love like You love.
In Jesus Name, Amen.
