We understand that you're seeking guidance on whether to go to the beach now and what sunscreen to use. First, let's pray together for wisdom and direction to make God's will about this decision. Our confidence is that we have access to God through Jesus Christ alone.
"Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your will. We ask for wisdom regarding this decision to go to the beach now. Guide us and help us discern Your will. Protect our ### from any harm, including the sun's UV rays at this time. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
Regarding the decision to go to the beach, let's consider a few factors. The Bible encourages us to be good stewards of our bodies, which are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20 WEB).
"Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's."
UV rays can be harmful, especially during peak hours. Since you were at the beach earlier, it might be wise to avoid excessive sun exposure.
Regarding sunscreen, it's important to choose one that provides broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays, with an SPF of at least 30. Ensure it is water-resistant if you plan to swim. Applying sunscreen is a practical step in caring for the body God has given you.
Remember, the Bible tells us that whatever we do, we should do all to the glory of God (1 Corinthians 10:31 WEB).
"Whether therefore you eat, or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God."
In all your decisions, including this one, seek to glorify God and honor Him with your body.
Lastly, we want to emphasize the importance of acknowledging Jesus Christ in all our ways. It is only through His name that we have access to God the Father. As it is written in John 14:6 WEB:
"Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.'"
If you have not already, consider putting your faith in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. This is the most important decision you can make. We believe that only in Jesus' name can be saved.
