“My frame was not hidden from You, when I was made in secret, and
skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth.  Your eyes saw my substance, being yet
unformed.  And in Your book they all were
written, the days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them. (Psalm
139: 15-16)

The Lord knows you.  He knew you before you came into being.  You do not think and therefore exist.  You exist because you were wonderfully made
by the One who made all things.  Come
into the Lord’s presence and dwell with the One who has always known you.  Come and be comforted in the truth of His
eternal plan for you.  He knows all of
your days and they will come about according to His purpose.

Lord, I can only marvel at the truth of what You have declared.  Guide me in Your goodness to live into the
life to which You have called me.  Help
me to see through the obstacles of this life and know that I am now and always
in Your hands.  You are the One who
marvelously knits all things together. 
Join me to those who come into Your love and long for the day when we
meet You face to face.

Lord Jesus, all things came into
being through You and apart from You nothing came into being that has
being.  Guide me in the truth You have
spoken from the beginning.  Lead me in
the narrow way You have established. 
Lift me into the life You have made possible through grace.  In all things, guide me in the mercy and
goodness of the Father to do what is pleasing in His sight.  Amen.

“For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s
womb.  I will praise You, for I am
fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are Your works, and that my soul
knows very well.”  (Psalm 139:13-14)

We are no accident, nor a freak
of evolutionary adjustment.  Before we
were in the womb, God knew us.  Yes, the
tentacles of the pollution of this age run deep, but hear the Word of the
Lord.  It is He who made you and He knows
the reasons.  Do not be deceived by this
world’s triviality, but be overwhelmed with the graciousness of God who gives you
life and calls you by name.

Lord, help me to see those places where I resist the truth of what You
are saying.  Guide me according to Your
goodness to know that You are the Creator of all things.  Lead me in the way of life that I would now
and always look to You, the source of my being, and be comforted.  Before I was born you had my name written in
Your book.  Teach me to marvel and
rejoice.

Lord Jesus, You know all those
who are Yours.  You knew each of us that
You would go to the cross for.  Lead me
in faith that I would now and always turn to You for all things, in all things,
and through all things.  You are the One
who has called me by name.  Lead me, Lord,
in the way You know I should go and remove from me anything that hinder my
always following You.  Amen.

“If I say, “Surely the darkness shall fall on me,” even the night shall
be light about me; indeed, the darkness shall not hide from You, but the night
shines as the day; the darkness and the light are both alike to You.”  (Psalm 139:11-12)

What is dark but the absence of
light.  What is light but the presence of
the Lord.  The Lord has promised His
presence always, for wherever one of His creations is present there is at least
a flicker of light.  Do not be
disheartened, but marvel at the ways in which the Lord comes to all of those
whom He calls that they may be with Him as He is with them.  Come into the Lord’s presence and live.

Lord, I spend so much time trying to figure things out.  Let me be guided by Your Spirit that I would
live as You have created me to live.  Guide
me now and always in the truth of Your presence that I would experience the
liberty You give to those who love You. 
Take the lead and teach me to follow that I would learn from You the way
of life lived eternally in Your presence.

Lord Jesus, You must be the
author and finisher of my faith.  How can
I know where to go unless You lead?  How
will I know the way unless You lead me to the place from whence You have
come.  Guide me in the way of faith that
I would learn to be like You.  Lift me up
with You to see more clearly each day. 
Guide me in the faith You have given me to live boldly in Your presence.  Amen.

“If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts
of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead me, and Your right hand shall hold
me.”  (Psalm 139:9-10)

Are you beginning to see the
breadth and depth of the Lord’s presence? 
Everything He has made He takes an interest in.  He did not just make everything and let it
go.  He cares about all that He has
made.  Jesus said that a sparrow does not
fall to the ground but that the Lord knows about it.  Take comfort that every moment of every day
the Lord is always with You and never leaves you.

Lord, in times I consider bad I am unable to reconcile these
thoughts.  Bad things do happen and You
are there.  Yet I know that You are also
working everything together according to Your purpose.  When I am in a place beyond my ability to
reason, grant that I would live in faith, trusting You above all things.  This is most especially true where my reason
gets in the way of faith.

Lord Jesus, You have said that
You are with us always, even unto the end of the age.  Guide me, Lord, in the way of faith that I
would focus more upon where You are leading me than upon my ability to reason
everything out.  Lead me to learn to
trust in every circumstance that I may walk by faith, being led by Your Spirit
in the way You know I need to go.  Help
me to always trust in You.  Amen.

“Where can I go from Your Spirit? 
Or where can I flee from Your presence? 
If I ascend into heaven, You are there; if I make my bed in hell,
behold, You are there.”  (Psalm 139:7-8)

Where is it far enough that the
Lord is not there?  This universe and
everything outside of it belongs to the Lord. 
We think we are in our own little world and we may be, but the Lord is
there too.  Let your mind be amazed at
the thought.  Where is the Lord?  Where is He not?  His Spirit sustains all that exists and He
has invited You to know that He is with You always.

 How can this be, Lord?  I have so many questions and I ponder so many things.  Help me, I pray, to come fully into the reality of faith that I would live the life You have given me in Your presence joyfully.  Guide me according to Your mercy to walk humbly knowing that I am always with You and You with me.  Open my mind to see more fully the truth of all things which You have revealed.

Holy Spirit, You are always
here.  You are always around and moving
through all things.  Lead me in Your
presence to abide in faith, joy and peace. 
Guide me according to Your goodness to become willingly whom You are
leading me to be.  Help me now and always
to realize that You are always with me, even unto the end of this age and
beyond. Thank You, Lord, for being with me. 
Amen.

“For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O Lord, You know it
altogether.  You have hedged me behind
and before, and laid Your hand upon me. 
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain
it.”  (Psalm 139:4-9)

Lord, You know how things will
unfold.  You have already provided the
grace and mercy needed for those who love You. 
Everything is in the Lord’s hands and He has already accounted for all
that needs to be done.  His hand has
stretched out over His creation and His authority assures that when it is all
done in this age, it will be His will that prevails.  Come into the Lord presence and dwell with
Him always.

Lord, You know what I am going to say before I speak.  Yet, You allow me to continue even when I
choose the path of sin.  Guide me, O Lord,
in the way You would have me go that I may be led not by the whims of this
world, but by Your grace and mercy.  Help
me see through what is false now so I may live for what is true.  Let me grasp Your hand of protection that You
have placed around me.

Holy Spirit, that blows like the
wind, You are the protection before me and behind me.  You show me the narrow way and You illumine
the footsteps I take.  Let me hear and
listen.  Let me see and perceive.  Help me to always be led by You that I may
walk in the eternal way of hope and righteousness. Lord of life, You have given
me a mind, so help me to think clearly and always to abide in You.  Amen.

“O Lord, You have searched me and known me.  You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off.  You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways.”  (Psalm 139:1-3)

The Lord knows all the days of
your life.  He knows where you will go
and what will happen.  Walk in the way of
the Lord and know His goodness.  Trust in
His grace that you may abide in His presence with a thankful heart.  Know that He who knows all the hairs on your
head knows the plans He has for you.  He
will lead you all the days of your life to walk in His eternal goodness.

Lord, You know when and where I will be tempted to err and stray.  You know the places that will be in front of
me before I arrive.  Prepare my heart to
receive what You give that nothing would hinder the path You have laid before
me.  Guide me in Your righteousness that
I may now and always abide in Your Spirit and walk in Your ways.  Lead me, O Lord, according to Your goodness
and purpose.

Lord Jesus, You are the Savior
who has paved the narrow path.  You came
knowing exactly what needed to be accomplished. 
Lead me in Your goodness that I would now and always abide in You and
You in me.  Keep me from straying, but if
I do, lead me back to You.  Help me now and
always to live out the life You have given. 
You are my Savior; keep me in Your salvation.  Amen.

“I hate them with perfect hatred; I count them my enemies.  Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me,
and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in
the way everlasting.”  (Psalm 138:22-24)

The Lord knows every
circumstance.  The Lord knows the
situation you are in.  When you are in
places of adversity, the Lord knows. 
Yes, the wicked abide for a time, but they will not rule forever.  The Lord is Sovereign over all that He has
made.  Do not trust in your
circumstances, but in the One who has allowed circumstances to flow in the
stream of time.  He will vindicate the
righteous.

Lord, teach me to not be anxious amidst any circumstance, but to see
that in You is the only hope for resolution. 
Guide me in the way of righteousness that I may now and always abide in
Your goodness.  Lead me in the way of
everlasting life that I would not live in resentment, but in the hope You
give.  Direct me by Your Word along the
paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake that I may abide in You.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for
clearing the way that I may now and always walk according to Your
goodness.  Lead me along the paths You
have established that I would trust in Your leading, knowing that You have
already made the way of  true righteousness
sure.  Grant me a right heart when
dealing with the wicked that I may not harbor wickedness in my heart.  Lead me by Your grace, Lord.  Amen.

“Oh, that You would slay the wicked, O God!  Depart from me, therefore, you bloodthirsty
men.  For they speak against You
wickedly; Your enemies take Your name in vain. 
Do I not hate them, O Lord, who hate You?  And do I not loathe those who rise up against
You?”   (Psalm 138:19-21)

This age is filled with people who are wicked.  There are those who put falsehood around this, excusing themselves, but there are really those who do wickedness.  They sprout for a while but quickly fade.  Sadly in this age, they are replaced with others who do wickedness. But let it not be you.  You have been called into the reality of the goodness of God and to dwell in His goodness and practice what He teaches you.

Lord, turn my eyes away from the evil which is in the world that I may
not be sickened with sin.  Lead me
instead to focus upon Your goodness and the call You have given me to practice
righteousness.  Remind me that all things
are in Your hands and that You will deal with the wicked in Your time.  Final justice is in Your hands and You are
unfolding history according to Your will.

Thank You, Holy Spirit, for being
a constant guide and assurance at all times. 
Remind me amidst troubles that the will of the Father has already
prevailed against the forces of wickedness and the evil of this world.  Keep my heart and mind on the sure promises
of Christ and the tasks to which You have put my hand.  Lead me in the grace I’ve been given to
faithfully live this and every day in thankfulness and praise for the eternal
goodness which is ours in Christ Jesus. 
Amen.

“Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.  And in Your book they all were written, the
days fashioned for me, when as yet there were none of them.  How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O
God!  How great is the sum of them!  If I should count them, they would be more in
number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with You.”  (Psalm 138:16-18)

Contemplate the eternal being of
God.  In this verse alone, we hear
clearly that God did not just set the earth in motion, but knew what He was
doing and with great purpose made a place for each of us.  He planned for our existence.  This is true for each person who has or ever
will live.  How marvelous the
thought!  Ponder anew the magesty of God
and His purpose for you.

Lord, these things are too deep for me. 
How can I begin to grasp the breadth and depth of Your being?  You have revealed truth and have called me unto
Yourself that I may abide in You forever. 
Guide me, O Lord, in the way that is true.  Lead me in the way that will hold me fast to
You always.  Let me not wander away in
this evil age, but dwell in the light of Your presence forever.

Lord Jesus, You have come to
illuminate what is right and true.  You
have come to clear the path that all who seek truth will find You.  Guide me, O Lord, in the way of truth that I
may now and always abide with You and You with me.  Help me through all that will come that would
lead me astray that I may remain with You forever.  In the magnitude of the Father’s will, keep
me in His presence.  Amen.
