Today's Passage:
Psalm 139: 1-6,23-24 Today's Prayer: O Lord, you know me better than I know myself.
There are no secrets from you.
I pray today I am reminded that is a blessing.
There has never been a time that you didn't know me.
Let me find comfort in knowing that with you, I never have to pretend.
I never have to hide from you. I never have to wear a mask.
You are not scared of my anger or sadness or regret.
You do not find my questions or doubts to be off putting.
O Lord, let that knowledge overwhelm me in the best way.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made by you.
I praise you because you knit me together, creating the intricate pattern of who I am.
Let the knowledge that you were specific in forming me sink in,
but continue to feel new every time I remember it.
O Lord, as I walk closely with you
Remind me who I am- a precious, adopted child of the king.
And, because I am your child, remind me I am safe with you as you call out the places in me – the anger, the regret, the disregard – that I need to confess to you.
As you lead me to holiness, there may be pain. There may be sadness or doubt or fear. But remind that in it all, you are with me.
I pray as you reveal the places in me where you want more of me, places where you need me to go or to rearrange, that I would trust that it is for my good and for you glory.
Today, Lord, I pray I find comfort knowing that where I am is never too far from you.
For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever…AMEN.
