Prayer 393

The prayer series

Jesus,

Before knowing you, I asked myself:
“Does this person like me?
Does that person not like me?”

After knowing you, I ask you:
“Do I love you,
with all my heart and with all my soul and with all my mind?*
Do I love people
with all my heart and with all my soul and with all my mind?”

Every time I ask you such questions,
I feel I need to love you more
and love people more.

Amen.

PTH

* Matthew 22:37
