Dear God, please help me to love you with all my heart, with all my understanding, all my soul, and with all my strength. May my love for you be the foundation of my life and guide my every decision. And please help me to love my neighbor as myself, treating them with kindness, compassion, and respect. May my love for others be a reflection of your love for me. Help me to remember that loving you and loving others is more important than any sacrifice or offering I could make. Amen.
