Rich in simile and poetic beauty, the Song of Songs is, like Psalms and Proverbs, universal in its application to lives of believers. God is for marriage, it states, and a healthy passion between husband and wife as demonstrated by Solomon and his beloved.

Sadly, many unions fall far short.

Pray for marriages. Seek God for an exemplary love in your own.  The Bible encourages it.

PRAYER: Father, let there be a move of Your Spirit in Christian marriage. Because marriage is a type of Christ with the Church, we seek Your very best in our homes, and we ask for Your mercy upon those deeply wounded by marriages that fail. You will NEVER FAIL!
