By staying connected to God, and believing the promises of his Word, you can live a fulfilling, blessed life in close relationship with each other and with your heavenly Father.

Acceptance

“The Father gives me the people who are mine. Every one of them will come to me, and I will always accept them.”

JOHN 6:37 NCV

The LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.

1 SAMUEL 16:7 NKJV

If God is for us, who can be against us?

ROMANS 8:31 ESV

Before he made the world, God chose us to be his very own through what Christ would do for us; he decided then to make us holy in his eyes, without a single fault—we who stand before him covered with his love.

EPHESIANS 1:4 TLB

God, what a wonder that you see us in ways that no one else does. Not only did you choose us before the beginning of time as your own, but nothing can change your mind about us! Thank you for accepting us as we are, not as how we should be. Help us to accept ourselves and each other as you do. We know we don’t have to do anything to earn your love. As we learn to receive your love without condition, help us to love each other the way you do.

How does God’s acceptance of you help you to be more accepting of each other?

Affection

I am my beloved’s, And his desire is toward me.

SONG OF SOLOMON 7:10 NKJV

You make known to me the path of life; you will fill me with joy in your presence, with eternal pleasures at your right hand.

PSALM 16:11 NIV

My beloved speaks and says to me: “Arise, my love, my beautiful one, and come away, for behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come.”

SONG OF SOLOMON 2:10-12 ESV

Father, please help us cancel out the lies of the enemy which tell us we are unlovable or need to be somebody we’re not. Your affection is hard to fathom because we struggle to see past our own depravity. Your love, however, is not conditional of our deservedness but is an overflow of your goodness. Thank you for creating us to be the recipients of your affection. Help us to be catalysts of your affection to each other.

How do you feel the affection of God in your life?

Anxiety

You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in you.

ISAIAH 26:3 NIV

“Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me.”

JOHN 14:1 NLT

Give all your worries to him, because he cares about you.

1 PETER 5:7 NCV

I call out to the LORD when I’m in trouble, and he answers me.

PSALM 120:1 NIRV

Lord, you know our hearts and our every thought. You know when we sit and when we stand. You know our history and our future. There are no mysteries to you. When doubts and fears threaten to overwhelm us, be the peace that calms the storm. We will remember together who you are: our defender, Savior, and Good Shepherd. You are our hope. We will trust in you even when it takes everything inside of us to choose it. When we cannot see the way out, we know that you see it all so clearly and you are never overwhelmed. We trust you, God.

What steps can you take to be less anxious and more trusting?

Assurance

To him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory…for ever and ever! Amen.

EPHESIANS 3:20-21 NIV

All of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!”

2 CORINTHIANS 1:20 NLT

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

HEBREWS 13:8 NASB

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God.

1 JOHN 5:13 NKJV

God, we believe that you are who you say you are. Jesus, in you is the fulfillment of God’s promise for salvation. Thank you for being faithful to your Word. In you we place our hope. Do more than we can even think to imagine or ask for with our lives. Help us to believe that you will come through even when it’s hard for us to see a silver lining in the cloud of circumstance. You are better than our best day together and more faithful than the rising sun.

How does believing God’s promises cause you to feel reassured?

Beauty

You are altogether beautiful, my darling, beautiful in every way.

SONG OF SONGS 4:7 NLT

Your beauty should come from within you—the beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit that will never be destroyed and is very precious to God.

1 PETER 3:4 NCV

She puts on strength and honor as if they were her clothes. She can laugh at the days that are coming.

PROVERBS 31:25 NIRV

I praise you because you made me in an amazing and wonderful way. What you have done is wonderful. I know this very well.

PSALM 139:14 NCV

Lord, when we look at the abundance of diversity in the world around us, we remember that beauty comes in many forms. When you created each of us, you did it intentionally. Thank you that you made us unique on purpose and that beauty is so much more than skin-deep. Let beauty first grow in our hearts, spilling out into the rest of our being. Thank you that we can see the beauty you have placed in each of us when we look for it. We praise you for we are fearfully and wonderfully made.

How do you see God’s beauty reflected in each other?

Belief

He must have a strong belief in the trustworthy message he was taught; then he will be able to encourage others with wholesome teaching and show those who oppose it where they are wrong.

TITUS 1:9 NLT

Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household.

ACTS 16:31 NKJV

“All things are possible to him who believes…”

MARK 9:23 NASB

Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

JOHN 20:29 ESV

Jesus, we believe that you are the Son of God. You came to earth as a human so we could know what the Father is really like. Above all, you taught us what it means to love without condition. We believe who you were and still are, and we can trust you with our lives and our futures. Thank you for the gift of knowing you. We pray that our belief would lead us into greater confidence in our relationship with you. Thank you that you are near and not distant. Whatever happens in the world around us, we believe that you remain constant.

How can you help each other strengthen your belief in God?

Blessings

Surely, LORD, you bless those who do what is right. Like a shield, your loving care keeps them safe.

PSALM 5:12 NIRV

Surely you have granted him unending blessings and made him glad with the joy of your presence.

PSALM 21:6 NIV

Give praise to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. He has blessed us with every spiritual blessing. Those blessings come from the heavenly world. They belong to us because we belong to Christ. God chose us to belong to Christ before the world was created. He chose us to be holy and without blame in his eyes. He loved us.

EPHESIANS 1:3-4 NIRV
