Prayer Tuesday

I used this passage from Psalm 139 in a sermon I preached last night at camp (to be posted at a later time). The point I made from it is that God is always there with us in the best, worst, and normal times. So wherever you are on the journey, pray this psalm with the confidence that God is faithful and God with you.

O Lord, you have searched me 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 know it completely, O Lord.
You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid 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?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.

--Psalm 139:1-10 (NIV)
