God Knows You & Cares For You
Backgrounder on Psalms 135-139:
These psalms about Praising God.
Sometimes it’s easy to praise the
Lord simply by recalling the past
(P135-136); at other times, past
memories produce more pain than
praise (P137). But even times of
trouble can be cause of praise
(P138) as you think about the
infinite Knowledge & unceasing
Presence of yr mighty God (P139)
Lord, Praise Your Constant Care:
You Discern my going out and
my lying down; You are Familiar
with all my ways (Psalm 139:3).
Where can I free from Yr Presence?
If I go to the heavens, U are there;
If I settle on the far side of the
sea, even there Your hand will
guide and hold me fast (v7-10).
Every day of my life was recorded.
Every moment was Laid Out before
a day had passed. How precious
are Your Thoughts (v16-17) Amen.
Lord, praise You for Knowing me
so well. You monitor my movements
and my thoughts. I want to rest
in the truth that I am always on
your mind. You promise to guide
my steps into places of peace.
Thank you Lord for the comfort
of knowing I am so well known by
U and thoroughly cared for. Amen
Lord, praise you for your Omni-
presence and good plans for me.
You promise that I can never
escape from your Spirit, and I will
never get away from your presence.
Wherever you take me, your hand
will guide me, and your strength
will support me. Guide me and
support me with your strength
each day of of life. For apart from
You I can do nothing. Amen.
Lord, U created me for a purpose
& has prepared a good Plan for me.
For You Charted the path ahead
of me & laid out every moment.
Help me to take comfort in this
knowledge of your concern for
me and constant care of me.
Help me to fully understand and
appreciate the depth of Your love.
Help me not to fear because you
are with me, before me, behind
me and surrounding me. Amen.
