A Prayer For Love For Others

Precious Lord Jesus, Wonderful Holy Spirit, Awesome God, help me not be selfish.
When I am alone, give me a heart to think about others.
When I am with others, give me a heart forgetting about myself as I reach out to others.
When I am in pain, push the pain aside so I may be consumed by the needs and hurts of others.
Inspire me to be a beacon of your love to my friends, family, and co-workers.
Give me a heart to make new friends regardless of who they are.
When I meet others who are very different from me, give me a heart to see these people as they are, where they are.
Help me trust others even when I might be hurt by them.
Help me never hold a grudge or be resentful because of what others have done.
Remind me every day to do what Jesus did in healing and loving others.
Help me be a healing force by pushing my wants and needs aside.
Help me sacrifice myself for others as you sacrificed yourself for me.
All these things I humbly pray in the name of the most Blessed Lord Jesus Christ, the Mighty God, and the Ever-present Holy Spirit upon whom we can rely. Amen
