Help me, Guide me, Show me how

My Loving Lord,
it's so hard to love the world sometimes
and to love it the way Jesus did seems impossible.

Help me to be inspired by his love and
guided by his example.
Most of all, I want to accept that I can't do it alone,
and that trying is an arrogance of self-centeredness.
I need you, dear God, to give me support in this journey.

Show me how to unlock my heart
so that I am less selfish.
Let me be less fearful of the pain and darkness
that will be transformed by you into Easter joy.
Amen.
