Devoted and sincere

Two small tuning forks standing side by side on a table, struck so that their hum lines meet and merge into one single wave between them, showing hearts made steady and in tune with each other through devotion.

Lord, please steady the hearts of your children, and strengthen us with the power of your grace, so that we’re devoted when we pray to you and sincere in our love for each other. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another.

Romans 12:10 (BSB)
