A Prayer For Christlike Living
"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."
Galatians 6:2
Blessed are You who daily carries our burdens. You sent Your
Son Jesus Christ to bear the weight and the burden of our
sins on the cross of Calvary. By His shed blood, death and
resurrection, we are free from the weight of sin and death,
guilt and shame. Lord Jesus, You now invite us to abide in You
and stay connected to Your life-giving nourishment through
Your abiding presence, Your living Word, and the indwelling
Holy Spirit. Help us grow daily in grace, humility, compassion
and gentleness, so that we might bear the burdens of others
and so fulfill the law of love in Christ. Holy Spirit, enable us
to strengthen the weak, encourage the downcast, relieve the
afflicted, comfort the grieving, pray for the oppressed, and be
Your vessels of healing to the hurting. Teach us what it means
to come to the aid of Your image in all Your children in their
time of need. We ask this in the name of Jesus, the Christ.
Amen.
