“Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him.” Romans 8:9

Dear Lord Jesus,

May we always take to heart what You told us in Matthew 12:30 “that anyone who is not with You, is against You.”

Lord, help me be with You in word, thoughts, and deeds.

Grant that I live in the community with love in my heart, full of forgiveness, patience, atonement, mercy, and prayer.

Thank You for the gift of prayer and Your willingness to respond.

Grant me Your Spirit, Your light, to help others devote themselves to You in all things devoid of greed, envy, meanness, and contempt.

Grant that I live in Your Spirit, Lord Jesus, Amen.
