Lord, thank You for Your word and Your example. Lord, as Your people we cannot do this on our own and we often stumble. Please strengthen us by Your Holy Spirit and lead us to become as little children to love and obey You. Clean out any hate or malice we may have toward others. Forgive us and teach us to forgive as You forgive us. In Jesus name amen.
