A Prayer for Falling In Love

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE

Song of Solomon 7:6

A simple prayer is all it takes to connect with God every day. And if you don’t know how to pray, no worries! We’ve got you covered. Check out this simple prayer below to get started! 

 

I’ve Met Someone Special

Sometimes it happens all of a sudden— it feels like a bolt of lightning, a shock to your system. Other times, you didn’t even realize (or maybe, you just didn’t want to admit) that it was developing under the surface. All the time spent together, the inside jokes, moments of vulnerability … you look into their eyes one day and realize they’ve become home. You’re in love.  

One of the reasons it’s so fun to hear stories of falling in love is because there are so many different kinds of beginnings: from meet-cutes at airports or hotdog shops, dating apps or blind set-ups from your coworkers, childhood or church friends… you never know when you’re going to meet that someone whose acquaintance will blossom into deep affection and closeness. And even though falling in love is only the beginning of what may develop into a more mature relationship, we hope you never lose the wonder of those first moments—the sparks of curiosity, the shared laughter, the unexpected connection. Those beginnings serve as a beautiful foundation for the journey ahead.  

So, whether you’re in the process of falling in love, or reflecting on when you first met your special someone… here’s a prayer and scripture to reflect on for falling in love. 

“How beautiful you are and how pleasing, 

    my love, with your delights!” (Song of Solomon 7:6). 

A Prayer for Falling In Love

God, you are love, and your love is so great, it created the world and everything in it. Your deep affection for your people is so vast, you’ve made a way for me to live with you forever. I’m so thankful and excited for this opportunity to experience a glimmer of how beautiful love can be. Help this new relationship teach me how to become more patient and kind– how to be more selfless and understanding. Wherever this love leads, may our growing relationship be honoring to you and to one another. Amen.
