Father, increase love in me. What I am about to pray is scary to pray, because such praying brings one to pruning and testing ground. But I want the growth that makes stronger Christlikeness. So . . .

There are people in situations that I find hard to pour love into. You know where those areas are even better than I. Grow me strong in love so I do not let demeanor and circumstance stop the flow. In Jesus, amen.
