MARCH 9 — Love Your Enemies and Make Them Friends

Today’s passage:
“. . . Love your enemies, bless them
that curse you, do good to them that
hate you, and pray for them which
despitefully use you, and persecute you.”
(Matthew 5:44)

Today’s prayer:
Search me, O God and know my heart today,
Try me, O Savior, know my thoughts I pray.
See if there be, some wicked way in me,
Cleanse me from every sin and set me free.
—Edwin Orr
