As I finished up my memory of Psalm 139 I wanted to make sure that I did not lose what I had memorized, but rather I wanted to actually apply it to my daily life. So I rewrote the Psalm in my own words as a prayer to God.
“Lord, you know me. You understand everything I’m going through. When I am down and depressed, you are there. When I am at my highest point, you are there with me, surrounding every moment of it.” (See Psalm 139:1-3)
“You know every word I have spoken, and am going to speak before I even speak them. You have surrounded me in my past days and in my future days to come, like an army surrounding its enemy. Your comforting hand is always on me, guiding and protecting me. I am over whelmed with this overpowering knowledge of your caring love for me.” (See Psalm 139:4-6)
“I cannot escape your presence, for it consumes my existence. There is no place I can go that I will not find you there with me. You are always there, guiding me in the way I should go.” (See Psalm 139:7-10)
“No matter what I am going through, no matter how hard and tough life may seem. No matter how consumed I feel by the darkness of this world, your love, and your presence shines through even the darkest of hours. The darkness of this world cannot be kept from you, for your love shines through and breaks the darkness’s tight grasp. You have made me, you formed me in my mother’s womb.” (See Psalm 139:11-13)
“I was made by the almighty creator who created the sun and the moon and the stars, who spoke and the very existence of light itself was made with a single word. You made me with a plan and purpose, everything you have formed in me is perfect in your sight, and nothing the enemy can say will shake me from this belief that I am your beloved creation. I praise you for that. When I was yet nothing in the world’s mind you, the almighty Creator who keeps the very stars in the sky, cared enough to take the time to make and form me; a nothing in this world’s mind.” (See Psalm 139:14-16)
“Your thoughts unto me are precious, O God, I love every one of them. They are so vast and so great, I am un able to count them. Yet they are there, and your kind thoughtful care in my life is with me, and they continually flow in. You are with me at all times, and when I awake I praise your steadfast love for me, for you are there.” (See Psalm 139:17-18)
“This imperfect world is plagued with the evil ones who rise up against you, surely they will receive their just reward. I want nothing to do with them. There are those who have heard the lie of the enemy, and listened to his falsehoods, thus they rise up against you, and curse your name. I am saddened for those poor deceived souls; I hate their ways and the enemy who gives them their biddings.” (See Psalm 139:19-22)
“I humble myself before you, O God, search my ways. Do not let me fall into the pit of hypocrisy, and think of myself as better than those who do not know you. Do not let me lose my compassion for the lost. Destroy any evilness that has crept into my life, and lead me to be an impact in your kingdom for eternity!”(See Psalm 139:23-24)
