Dear Heavenly Father

We pray that we would not be left alone like broken vines but that we would be knitted together in love.

Help us to cast away bitterness and anger that separate us from you and from each other.

Bind us together as a family so that we can show the greatness and beauty of the Lord.

Give us tender hearts. Melt our hearts of stone toward the weak.

Open our eyes to see you in every person. May we be vines that bear fruit in every season.

May our lives be filled with the care and kindness of the Lord and may our goal be to show His greatness.

Let us love, let us love, let us love.

Will you pray with me?
