Give us grace today to love others as we have been loved16 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers.
16 By this we know love, because he laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. 17 But whoever has the world’s goods and sees his brother in need, then closes his heart of compassion against him, how does God’s love remain in him? 18 My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth. 19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and persuade our hearts before him,

Give us grace today to be honest to ourselves and to others today, with you as our judge.19 And by this we know that we are of the truth, and persuade our hearts before him,

Heavenly Father
Give us grace today to believe in the ways and person of Jesus, and to love others as he commands us.22 so whatever we ask, we receive from him,
more
because we keep his commandments and do the things that are pleasing in his sight.
23 This is his commandment, that we should believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ,
and love one another, even as he commanded.
24 He who keeps his commandments remains in him, and he in him.
By this we know that he remains in us, by the Spirit…Heavenly Father
Give us grace today to be wise1 Beloved, don’t believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
Heavenly Father
Give us grace today to be the body of Christ in flesh and blood.2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit who confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, 3 and every spirit who doesn’t confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God, and this is the spirit of the Antichrist, of whom you have heard that it comes. Now it is in the world already.
