taking time to read through it and write down how i feel as i read through it.
must write out verses that are personal to me and replace (I and he) with my name.
supposed to place cards with these around my home to remind me that i'm not alone.
(let's see how far i get with this project!)
1You have searched me, Lord,
and you know me.
I'm glad HE knows me, because I don't even know myself half the time. It's a learning process for my human brain. I'm glad He has all of me figured out.
2You know when I sit and when I rise; and when i fall
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
He knows my name! He knows my every thought. He sees each tear I cry, and He hears me when I call. (song)
4Before a word is on my tongue
you, Lord, know it completely.
5You hem me in behind and before,
and you lay your hand upon me.
6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
You are omnipresent. I never have to fear that You aren't with me. (Your rod and your staff the comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall dwell in Your house forever.)
8If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
No matter where I go in my travels or in my life, You're always going to be there, even when I don't feel certain, You will pick me up.
11If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
12even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
13For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
15My frame was not hidden from you
when I was made in the secret place,
when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all the days ordained for me were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
He knew that I would be the first girl in the family in 32 years, just like my mother. And he knew exactly when my hair would start turning gray.
17How precious to me are your thoughts,139:17 Or How amazing are your thoughts concerning me God!
How vast is the sum of them!
18Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when I awake, I am still with you.
19If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
20They speak of you with evil intent;
your adversaries misuse your name.
21Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,
and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
22I have nothing but hatred for them;
I count them my enemies.
23Search me, God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.
Lord take away any negative thoughts or judgment I would have towards people who do not know You. It is not my place. Let me love them in the way that you love them. Like a lost sheep, leading them to a shepherd.
