Old Testament Verse

I delight to do your will, O my God; your law is within my heart.
Psalm 40:8

New Testament Verse

Jesus said to the expert in the law, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'"
Matthew 22:37-39

Prayer

Lord of love, I delight in your law and seek to follow your will. But I can't manage even to follow the two basic commandments. Forgive me for loving myself more than my neighbors and more than you. Overwhelm my heart with your world-changing love. Set my feet to walk in your ways. Teach me to love anew. Amen.
