beloved

Opening Prayer: Remember, O Lord, your great mercy and love, for they are from old.  Remember not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your unfailing love remember me, for you are good, O Lord. (Psalm 25:6-7)

Scripture: Jeremiah 31:3

Journal: What is the truest thing about you today?  How does God’s love define you?

Reflection:

just any mess

Prayer

Closing Prayer: How priceless is your unfailing love, O God!  Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings.  They feast on the abundance of your house; you give them drink from your river of delights.  For with you is the fountain of life; in your light we see light.  Continue your love to those who know you, your righteousness to the upright in heart. (Psalm 36:7-10)
