Praying with Paul: 'Only Out of Love'

Titus 1:11-14

Dear Father,

Help me never to teach or serve in your kingdom for selfish gain. May I live and do good out of pure love for you.

Help me to stay away from stupid myths, concocted by human imagination, and follow only the truth that comes from you.

Help me to be frugal in my approach to life. Save me from overindulgence of every kind.

In the holy name of Christ Jesus I ask it. Amen.
