God of love,
Show me how to love others.
Help me to see how to live compassion and generosity.
Guide me to set aside selfish self-interest and greed.
Teach me to see the people I encounter as your children.
Remind me that we are all beloved by you.
Help me hear echoes of John’s voice today.
Help me nurture growth and abundance and generosity in myself.
Empower me to heed and follow John’s call.
Amen.
