I will make you my wife forever, showing you righteousness and justice, unfailing love and compassion. I will be faithful to you and make you mine, and you will finally know me as the Lord .

Lord, these chapters are difficult to read. I pray You help us to see and understand all that You would hope for us, as we journey alongside one another. I pray for anyone reading this for the first time, we'd pray to see Your message to us, today.

Thank You for loving us, regardless of our constant back and forth between our faithful relationship with You, and moving as You lead, and our pull to live as outside influences may have us live. Thank You also for that instance, or moment, in our lives when the "switch" is flipped and we no longer see You as a controlling God, but a God Who loves us madly, continues to go out of His way to provide for us, and desires nothing but the best for us - because You are motivated by MERCY. I pray if that moment has yet to happen for many, it would happen today, or very soon.

Thank You Lord for Your Word, in Jesus Christ's Name we pray, Amen ❤
