Heavenly Father, I pray that love will abound in my church,

that we will grow in knowledge of You

so that we will be pure and blameless before you.

(Philippians 1:9-10)

I ask you to develop a spirit of love and unity in my church,

And that you will allow me to model Christian love

to others in my church. (I Cor. 13)
