Opening Prayer: Lord, it is hard to wrap my mind around the fact that you desire me, because most days I do not feel desirable at all. In fact, just the opposite. But you do love and desire me, O Lord, and for that I am eternally grateful.
Scripture: Song of Songs 7:10
Journal: What does it stir up in you to know that you are desired by God?
Reflection: “I belong to my beloved, and his desire is for me.” (Song of Songs 7:10)
“Do you know that you are desirable? Do you know how deeply I love you and desire you? You are my beloved, my bride, my lover, my heart’s desire. You are the apple of my eye. Don’t let the world around you, or the doubt within you, convince you of anything else.”
My you know the depths of his love and affection today.
Pray
Closing Prayer: May your desire for me, O Lord, stir up in my heart a deep desire for you. After all, we love because you first loved us.
