Praying from 1 John 2:11 relating to Hate, Darkness, Blindness.

Dear God, please help me to love my brothers and sisters as you have commanded. May I never harbor hatred in my heart towards anyone, for I know that it leads me into darkness and confusion. Please open my eyes to see the light of your love and guide me on the path of righteousness. May I always walk in the light and never stumble in the darkness. Thank you for your grace and mercy. Amen.

Verse: But he who hates his brother is in the darkness, and walks in the darkness, and doesn’t know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
1 John 2:11

This is a Command: Love your brother. The verse implies that hating one’s brother leads to darkness and confusion, while loving one’s brother leads to clarity and direction.
