We join you, Wilann, in your heartfelt prayer to live according to God's will and to be strengthened in His love. We stand with you in Jesus name, as you have requested, and we are encouraged by your desire to pray without ceasing and to love others in deed and truth, as this is the very heart of God's commandments. Let us go directly to scripture in the World English Bible.
Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor that which is evil. Cling to that which is good. In love of the brothers be tenderly affectionate to one another; in honor preferring one another; not lagging in diligence; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; rejoicing in hope; enduring in troubles; continuing steadfastly in prayer; contributing to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality.

We are thankful to see you praying in Jesus name. This is the key to our access to God. And in that name, you have also asked for freedom from a negative mindset. We take authority over that negativity in Jesus' name and declare that you have the mind of Christ.
