You will find Me (Jer 29: 10-14a)

Lord you know me (David’s Response Ps 139)

The All-knowing and Ever-present God

Lord, you have probed me, you know me: 2 you know when I sit and stand; you understand my thoughts from afar. 3 You sift through my travels and my rest; with all my ways you are familiar. 4 Even before a word is on my tongue, Lord, you know it all. 5 Behind and before you encircle me and rest your hand upon me. 6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, far too lofty for me to reach.

7 Where can I go from your spirit? From your presence, where can I flee? 8 If I ascend to the heavens, you are there; if I lie down in Sheol, there you are. 9 If I take the wings of dawn[c] and dwell beyond the sea, 10 Even there your hand guides me, your right hand holds me fast. 11 If I say, “Surely darkness shall hide me, and night shall be my light” 12 Darkness is not dark for you, and night shines as the day. Darkness and light are but one.


  • Prayer with David's words as. your own, and move into wanting what comes up for you.

  • Write down your response.

  • Share with God your thoughts, feelings.



In Your Presence fullness of Joy (David’s Response (Ps 16:11)

You make known to me the path of life; in your presence, there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.


  • End with a Glory Be
