“I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.”
— Psalm 139:14
Reading
Beautiful Soul, your body is not a project. It is a companion.
It has walked you through every year of your life. It has healed cuts you forgot about. It has kept your heart beating while you slept. It has held you through grief, through joy, through seasons you did not know how you would survive.
You may not always love how it looks in a mirror. But today, thank it for what it does. Thank your hands for their work. Thank your legs for carrying you here. Thank your lungs for one more breath.
This body is a gift you get to steward, not a debt you have to pay off.
Reflection
What is one part of your body you would like to thank today, and why?
Closing Prayer
God, thank You for this body. Help me care for it with tenderness, not punishment. Thank You for how faithfully it has held me. Amen.
