How to Be a More Loving Person
You know what makes it really hard to be more loving and actually care about other people? It’s not just one thing. It’s stress + hurry + pandemic + your own problems + exhaustion + needing a break.
If you, like us, are finding it difficult to love others right now, and specifically to feel their pain or care about their problems, we are right there with you. And while the detailed steps on how to grow in being more loving are blurry, we know that it starts by going back to the One who gave us the command in the first place:
“A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another” (John 13:34).
Here’s a prayer we are praying a lot these days when we want to be more loving, but it just doesn’t come easily and we need help:
A Prayer to Be More Loving
God who is Love—who lives love in the Trinity, embodies love in Christ, and empowers love through the Holy Spirit—help me know that love for myself, and show that love to others. Help me offer peace even in the midst of my stress, patience in the midst of my hurry, and empathy in the midst of my exhaustion. Restore me, Lord, and help me be an agent of restoration and comfort to others. Amen.
