I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139:14
Creator God,
You have intricately fashioned our bodies,
beginning in our mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13).
You have counted the hair on our heads
and our tears in your bottle (Luke 12:7; Psalm 56:8).
Forgive us for failing
to proclaim the goodness of our bodies.
Help us to affirm with David,
“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14).
May we treat our bodies
kindly and honorably,
as the very temple of worship
you designed them to be (1 Corinthians 6:19).
And may we use
our feet, our hands,
our mouths, our tongues,
to serve you and praise you all of our days.
In the name of Jesus, God-made-flesh. Amen.
Read Psalm 139:13-16; Luke 12:7; Psalm 56:8; 1 Corinthians 6:19.
