Here’s
a prayer inspired by Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10: 25-37).
Prayer
(inspired by Luke
10:25-37)
Heavenly
Father,
we
know that You have made us for Yourself,
to
love You and to love our neighbors.
Yet
still we cannot help but live for ourselves,
and
every day we justify ourselves by our own standards, not Yours.
But
Lord, you have found us in the ditch,
and
You have rescued us.
Now
soften our hearts to Your will,
and
make us to love others as You have loved us;
especially
those who are most in need, whom we pass by every day.
In
Jesus’ name, Amen.
