Prayer to Love

Lord, 

Help me to love You as You deserve, 

Help me to love You the way You want me to,

Help me to love You with an undivided love. 

If there is no greater love one can have 

Than to lay down his life for his friend. 

Then, my loving Jesus, 

Let me love You with my life. 

And knowing how impossible this is, 

For this sinful, narrow person that I am,

I beg for Your hand to hold onto mine;

That with You as my guide to illumine the way,

I may walk on with certainty,

Inching ever closer to You 

As You make perfect what You have long begun in me. 

Amen.
