Alone on Valentineโs Day
Single and alone on Valentineโs Day, huh? Not sure thereโs much more to say about that.ย
What is it about being single on this manufactured holiday that makes us wonder if we will ever find someone?ย
Maybe itโs the pressure. Maybe itโs the weird things people say or the awkward looks they give when they ask, โWhat are you doing tonight?โ And we respond with, โgoing to hang out with some friendsโ or โgoing home and watching a movie.โย
Even if we felt completely okay with being single, the look on their faces makes us doubt our โokayness.โ
Well, the good news is that youโre not alone on Valentineโs Day. Thereโs a really good God, who is the embodiment of true Love, and heโs with all of us single people.ย
โThere is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fearโฆโ (1 John 4:18a).
So if youโre feeling extra alone today, hereโs our full Valentineโs Day prayer:
Valentineโs Day Prayer
God who is Love, poke holes in all of the false versions of love that surround me today, and help me see and experience the true love you have for me. On this Valentineโs Day, give me a tangible sense of your presence, and remind me I am your beloved. Help me take a step closer to the whole person youโve made me to be, and help me see opportunities to show others your true, self-sacrificial love. Amen.ย
