Jen's prayer: Mary Mary's "Somebody"

Cause every time I'm sad and lonely
He comes and puts His arms around me
Cause God's love is the first
And it is the last

I was very excited to read these lyrics today because it ties into exactly what God is teaching me right now. On Sunday, my pastor at church was discussing the lives of singles. For those of you who don't know me, I am currently single and have been for almost a year. Being single is tough sometimes, especially when everyone around you appears to be a couple. It is easy for me to sulk and feel alone. However, I've been learning that being single can be a gift from God. How can I be sad and lonely when I have God's love wrapping his arms around me? God's love is first and last which means we don't have to have (although it is nice) someone by our side because we already have God.
