“O
Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You
know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m
far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know
everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say
it, Lord. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of
blessing on my head. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too
great for me to understand”(Psalms 139:1-6, NLT)!
To
realize that I am known so greatly and so deeply goes beyond my
limited human understanding! I open up my heart to you, God, and my
soul yearns for you to continually search me. I thirst for you, my
living God, with an unquenchable thirst. You are the living God! I
cannot move without you knowing it! Every step that I plan may be
formed in my mind, but your Spirit directs my steps. My thoughts are
not as high as your thoughts, but you know and understand them
because you became human for me. You understand me, your creation,
because you became one with me in your suffering for my sake. You
know when I am at ease and when I am distraught. You know when I have
the faith to move mountains, and when I need rest to be revived. You
are familiar with every part of me. Before I even speak, you know
what I am going to say. Because you know my heart, you know if it is
pained or if is rejoices. You know if I will speak life because of
great joy, and you know when I face the temptation to speak death
because of great despair. You know my potential beyond what I can
ever perceive.
You are my greatest advocate! Why do I
ever become downcast? I can again hope in you. Because you know me
and created me, I am yours, and you are mine. Lord, today, I pray for
my words to only speak your life. I pray right now before a word is
ever spoken, that my words are directed by you, Holy Spirit. I long
to have a joyful heart that speaks life. You discipline me, Lord, and
guide me in the right direction. You chastise me when I fail, and you
encourage me when I succeed. You have placed your hand upon my life,
and I always aware of your steady pressure. Your love and call is too
much at times for me to even fathom. It is too incredible to even
understand why you have loved and chosen me as your own.
You
will always search for me, Lord. I pray I will always allow you to
find me.
