Please read Genesis 2.

Meditate on verse 4.
This is the account of the heavens and the earth when they
were created, in the day that the LORD God made earth and heaven.
Genesis 2:1-3 completes the story of God’s creation week. Genesis 2:4 begins with a phrase repeated throughout Genesis: “This is the account of ...” It is the Hebrew word towledah, which is also used in chapters 5, 6, 10, 11, 25, 36, and 37 of Genesis, and it literally means “These are the generations.”1
Genesis 1-2 sets up an important pattern for the rest of the book. Genesis is organized by genealogies, followed by an elaboration on a section of the genealogy. Genesis 1 is the genealogy of creation. Genesis 2 gives more details focusing on the creation of man—part of the genealogy. The remainder of Genesis is written using this pattern: a genealogy is listed, followed by a detailed story about one family from the genealogy.
Genesis is the story of God creating and establishing families. It is beautifully written by the One who perfectly created you and is currently writing your story. As you read God’s story about families, pray for His miraculous creative work in families you know.
Pray Genesis 2:20 and 24-25 over married couples for whom you stand guard as a faithful, prayerful watchman (Isaiah 62:6-7).
“LORD, make ________ a suitable helper for _________.
Let them leave their father and mother and
be joined to each other. May they become one flesh.
Let them be naked with each other and not ashamed.
In Your name, Jesus~”
