Day #23 {30 days of prayer}


This scripture pulls at my heart strings! I absolutely LOVE Psalm 139.  Although this is just an excerpt, the entire chapter brings me to tears (good tears). I remember years ago, as a college student I would read this chapter everyday, sometimes more than once. This was a difficult time in my life when I felt lost, misunderstood and completely alone BUT to know that God knew everything about me brought me an overwhelming amount of comfort. He formed me in my mother's womb and there is no place I can go away from his Spirit! This was a major "self-examining" time in my life.
 I desperately needed this at that time in my life. Interestingly I was brought to it again today. Sometimes I feel like God is so far away. There are moments when I feel like I'm here trying to figure it out all by myself but today I was reminded that he's so much closer than I realize. He is intimately acquainted with all my ways! The Lord knew exactly how I was feeling today and knew that I was in need of this gentle reminder. Maybe, you feel alone or misunderstood. Please remember that God loves you more than anything. He has searched you and he knows you. His thoughts are so precious towards you. You are not alone and his hand is leading you.

Search me, O God, and know my heart; Try me and know my anxious thoughts; And see if there be any hurtful way in me, and lead me in the everlasting way. Amen
Psalm 139: 23
