The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Lord, You loved me first. That is why I can love at all. I keep trying to love on my own, but it does not work that way. When I am running low on love for someone who is hard to love, remind me of Your love for me. That always fills me back up. Then I can pass some on to the people who push my buttons. To the kid who gets on my nerves. To everybody, really. Amen.
