Psalm 139:1-8



1 O lord, thou hast searched me,
and known me.
2 Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising,
thou understandest my thought afar off.
3 Thou compassest my path and my lying down,
and art acquainted with all my ways.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue,
but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before,
and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
it is high, I cannot attain unto it.
7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit?
or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there:
if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.


Today's Prayer...



Dear Father in heaven,

We thank you that with our poor, faulty, sinful, and death-ridden lives
we may find shelter in your love. We thank you that we are your children.
We thank you that whatever we are, however depressed we are about
ourselves and the inadequacy of our own nature, we are still your children.
Give us your Spirit, we pray. Give us your Holy Spirit, penetrating our
whole nature, our flesh and blood, keeping us firm in faith under all
temptation and distress. Give us your Spirit to fill us with hope as we look
to the future, to fill us with certainty in our Lord Jesus Christ, who was,
and is, and is to come, whose victory is before our eyes so that we never
waver or become afraid. Give us your Spirit so that we may live in this
certainty and prepare ourselves more and more for your coming into the
world. May we come to know that your loving-kindness is at work today,
that in the end your deliverance will come quickly, to the glory of your name.


In the Name of the Most Holy we
pray in Jesus' Name

Amen
