Prayer for May 25, 2021

Prayer for May 25, 2021: Please pray with me. God of love, open us to knowing what true love is. Open us to seeing how complex and beautiful it is. Move us past the childish ways we think of love. Love is vulnerable to its core. And that is scary. It leaves us defenseless. But that’s what you call us to. That’s what it means to die to self – to drop our barriers that we put up to defend ourselves. That’s what love is – complete vulnerability. Love is dangerous in that way. But love is also the most transformative thing there is. Let us love – be that vulnerable. Let us love others – especially out enemies. Let us love – especially as we approach societal conflicts. Let us love. And in loving, transform us. Amen.
