A Prayer about Pondering the Depth of God’s Love

Your love, God, is my song, and I will sing it!

I’m forever telling everyone how faithful you are.

I’ll never quit telling the story of your love. Psalm 89:1

Loving Father,

Slow us down in the busy scrolling and scrambling of the day 

to consider, to ponder, to meditate on—

the wonders of your love.

Your love stretches far beyond the limits of the ocean, 

the very ocean you crafted in love (Ephesians 3:18-19).

Your love lasts forever and doesn’t waver daily 

based on our performance (Romans 5:8).

Your love secures us in our salvation 

and is eternally secure for those who trust in you (Romans 8:35-39).

Your love searches us out in our wandering 

and brings us home to your embrace (Luke 15:11-32). 

Your love befriends us in our loneliness 

and comforts us in our sorrow (John 15:15).

Most of all, your love changes us, 

transforming us from self-loving sinners 

who only like to talk about ourselves 

to God-loving saints 

who “never quit telling the story of your love” (Psalm 89:1). 

Loving Father, may we begin today 

swimming in the depths of your love, 

knowing we will never find the bottom.

In Jesus’ loving name. Amen.

Read Psalm 89.
