Song of Solomon 6 - Praying God's Word

Please read Song of Solomon 6.

Meditate on verse 5a.  The bridegroom is talking to his bride.

“Turn your eyes away from me, for they have confused me.”

The lovers’ spat from chapter 5 lingers into chapter 6. The groom went to his garden (v. 2).  The bride wants her groom; he is her beloved, and she is his (v. 3). The groom can’t look her in the eyes, yet, but he is thinking about her, thinking about all her positive qualities (vs. 4-9).

This couple gives a good example to follow when marriage is tough—and there will be tough times—let the tough times strengthen your marriage. Do not allow Satan to use the tough times to destroy your marriage. When you are in the midst of difficulty with your spouse, say these words over and over:

“I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine.

I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine.

I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine…”

If you need to, go to a quiet place, perhaps a garden, and recall all the positive things about your spouse. Say them aloud; write them down; think about them. Dwell on what is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praise-worthy about your spouse (Philippians 4:8).

Let God get glory from your tough times.

Pray Song of Solomon 6:13a over the marriages you guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).

“LORD, please let ____________ come back, come back,

 come back, come back,

for the sake of their marriage and their family.

For the sake of Your name, Jesus~”
