The psalmist wrote, “Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.” - Psalm 139:4 (NIV)

When I stop to think about it, one of my favorite psalms can also feel a bit scary. In Psalm 139, David talks about how God sees everything and is everywhere. God sees us when we wake up and when we’re going from here to there. And then David says...

Today's Prayer
Dear Lord, help us not to be afraid to be open and honest when we talk to you, holding nothing back. Amen.

I join many of those who will pray for you as you seek to discern what you are called to be at this moment. May God grant you the courage to fulfill that calling.
