Day 3 Devotion

Scripture: “The second commandment is this: “Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these”. Mark 12:31

Prayer: Dear God, thank You that You are a loving, gracious God. Your love is perfect, it never fails, and nothing can separate us from Your love. We pray that the lives of our school communities as well as ours would be filled and overflowing with the power of Your love so that we can make a difference in this world and bring honor to You. We ask for Your help in reminding us that the most significant thing we can do in this life is simply to love You and to choose to love others. Lord, thank You that Your love is patient and kind. Help us show patience and kindness to those around us. We pray all this in the Name of Jesus. Amen!

Decree: We decree an overflowing power of God’s love in everyone that attends or works in a school setting.
