1 John 4:7-13

1 Passage: 1 John 4:7-13

1 Verse: Verse 11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.

1 Prayer: Thank You, Father, for so loving me that You would permit Your own Son to suffer in my place for my sin. Sometimes that kind of love seems so foreign to my selfish ways of living. And yet Your love is the same for me as for all others. Help me to have the same love, too. Allow me to make the most of every opportunity to be gracious and kind and patient and humble toward every person.

1 Passage: 1 John 5:19-21

1 Verse: Verse 19. We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one.

1 Prayer: Thank You, Father, for making me Yours and giving me new life by Your Spirit through Your Son. Teach me all that follows from the fact that we are "of God". I know that we do not lie in the power of the evil one, even though the whole world around us and even in some sense ingrained within us does. Free me from the wrong-headed ways of evil. Free me from fear. Free me to love freely as You have loved me.
