[Love] does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. (I Corinthians 13:6 NLT) 

Lord, 

There are so many conflicting messages this world sends, sometimes my mind literally freezes – I don’t know what to think. I get unsure and insecure and sometimes even depressed. This is why I need and love Your Word – it is full of truth. You are truth. And the more I know You, the more I thrive and rejoice in the power and freedom You give. Even when You convict me of a sin or pull me to a place of growth I don’t want to go, my heart is full of integrity and strength knowing I live and stand in truth. All praise be to You. 

Sometimes life gets very hard and I want to give up. I struggle to tolerate the shortcomings of others, and sometimes it seems easier to flee. But love stays. Love bears all things – the way You stay and cover me in all the ways I fall short of Your purposes for me. Thank You for holding on to me and promising to never let me go. Humble my heart and help me to display the same act of love toward others that You show toward me.  

In Jesus’ name. Amen.
