Blessed be the LORD, for he has wondrously shown his faithful love to me in a city under siege. Psalm 31:21 NIV 

Do everything in love. 
I Corinthians 16:14 NIV 

Lord,  

This world can be frightening – headlines read of chaos, and fear is rampant. And yet Your love abounds. It shines brighter than my best of days and is a beacon of hope on the scary ones. Your love is there for whenever and however I need, and for this I am grateful. 

As I go through this day, help me to have pure motives in my actions and words. Help me to put “self” aside and really see the needs around me. Give me a heart of compassion for reaching out and truly loving others through service or encouragement, even if all I do is make eye contact and give a smile. Help me to make a difference in how others see You – the exalted and omnipotent God of love. 

Praise to Your holy name. Amen.
