1 John 3

Dear God,

thank You for Your Word and for this chapter that reminds us of Your great love for us, that we are called Your children. Thank You for the assurance that when we see You, we will be like You, for we shall see You as You are. Help us to live in righteousness and not sin, to love one another and to lay down our lives for each other, just as Jesus laid down his life for us.

Please guide us to abide in You, to seek Your will and to live in a way that pleases You. Help us to have confidence and boldness before You, trusting in Your love and Your promises. Give us strength and courage to live as children of God, to follow Your commandments and to love others just as You have loved us.

We pray for Your grace and mercy to be poured out on us, for Your Spirit to lead and empower us in all we do. Help us to be mindful of our identity as Your beloved children and to live in a way that honors You. Thank You for Your love, for the privilege of being called Your children.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Mi Señor,

Gracias por tu Palabra y por este texto que nos recuerda cuánto nos amas. Ayúdame a comprender la profundidad de tu amor, y a vivir conforme a tu voluntad. Quiero ser más como tu Hijo Jesús, y reflejar su amor y compasión en todo lo que hago. Permite que mi vida sea un testimonio vivo de tu amor y gracia, y que pueda amar a los demás de la misma manera en que tú me amas a mí.

Ayúdame a vivir en rectitud y a confiar en tu promesa de purificarnos de todo pecado. Que mi corazón esté siempre dispuesto a buscar tu voluntad y a seguir tus mandamientos. Fortaléceme para resistir la tentación y para mantenerme firme en la fe. Gracias por todo lo que haces por mí, por tu constante amor y perdón. En el nombre de Jesús, Amén.
