Praying the Psalms

You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.

Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?

Psalm 139:1-7 New International Version (NIV)

Dear Lord,

Thank You. Thank You for contending with me and for Your promise to never stop.

In Jesus' name I pray.

Amen.

Give me understanding and I will obey your instructions; I will put them into practice with all my heart.

Psalm 119:34 NLT
