Spirit of the living God, who speaks the truth to our hearts, help us to let nothing become more important or urgent than our love for you, that our hearts would ever be given to you before all things, leading us to walk in your kingdom ways all the days of our life, through Christ our Lord, who reigns with you and the Father in glory forever. Amen.
“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me.” – Matthew 10:37-38
