We ponder your steadfast love, O God, in the midst of your temple.
We pondered your love-in-action, God, waiting in your temple:
What does God's steadfast love mean in the midst of a depression? My thoughts are filled with longing and groans and doubts. Let's look at the temple: I am God's temple. God's temple is not well and whole, it is diseased with depression. I am pondering (to think or consider especially quietly, soberly, and deeply) God's never-changing love for me at a time when my mind is weak and I need the reassurance of his love so desperately. It brings me back to acceptance. Here I am, Lord, in this body, your temple. I can only believe that you love me and are with me.
Lord, my body does not feel worthy of being your temple. Fill me with your peace as I ponder your steadfast love. Open my heart to experience your love-in-action. Amen.
