Read

Do not cut your bodies for the dead or put tattoo marks on yourselves. I am the Lord.

(Leviticus 19:28)

Pray

Dear God,

You have created me in Your image, and I am grateful for the body that You have given me. Help me to honor and respect it as a temple of Your Holy Spirit. In a world that often values outward appearances over inner character, remind me that true beauty comes from a heart that is devoted to You. Help me to resist the temptation to conform to the standards of this world, and instead focus on becoming more like You each day.

You have also called me to love and care for others as I love myself. May my actions and words reflect Your love and grace, and may I see others through Your eyes. Help me to be a vessel of Your compassion and understanding, especially to those who may feel marginalized or isolated. As I seek to live out Your command to love my neighbor as myself, may my life be a living testimony to Your goodness and mercy.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
