A Scripture and a Prayer: “A Dangerous Love”

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” (1 John 2:15)

Prayer:

Lord, help us keep our love and devotion focused solely on You, and don’t let worldly things and desires sneak in, causing our love to become divided. Such love and division are dangerous. You told the church of Laodicea that because they were neither hot nor cold, but rather lukewarm in their relationship with You, You would spit them out of Your mouth. Therefore, Lord, may our love for You never grow cold or lukewarm, and no matter what life brings, we will continue to love You and see our love for You grow. We ask this in Jesus’s name. AMEN
