Make Love Come Alive – A Prayer – v2

Lord, how easy it is

to speak of love,

to say, to pledge,

undying, unending love

claiming to understand,

to appreciate the meaning

Real love; oh we see but

only a foggy image

Love in the mirror, a weak shadow

full flowering of Your love.

Help us Lord, to take steps,

on the strength of Your foundation,

even tentative, faltering steps,

even in our infancy,

To make love come alive for another,

through unexpected, kind words,

a genuine smile, signs of real respect,

true appreciation, servanthood.

Help us put others before ourselves,

to wait for all, not just our turn.

Remind us Lord to

Take the time to find the good in each

and speak words of love,

whenever we speak, in whatever we do.

Amen.
