We were created not only by God but for God—to seek Him, to know Him, and to walk in intimate relationship with Him. Psalm 139 reveals a breathtaking truth: God knows us fully, inside and out, because He made us with intention and purpose. He is not distant or detached—He is present in every corner of our existence.

This psalm draws us into the mystery of divine intimacy. In a world that tries to define us by externals, God reminds us that our deepest identity is found in being known by Him—and in seeking to know Him in return. This prayer is a response to that calling. It is a declaration of surrender, a pursuit of truth, and a desire to walk the eternal path of knowing the One who knows us best.

Prayer

Father, You’re all-knowing, everywhere-present and all-powerful, and You conceived me in Your mind. You created me with painstaking detail. You designed me with a purpose and that purpose is to seek You. My brain can barely conceive of this idea, nevertheless I submit myself to this calling. Because of the calling I will treasure Your every thought. I will accumulate knowledge of You. I commit to hating every lie that defames Your name and distorts Your character. Train me for this lifelong journey of seeking You, then lead me into the eternal path of seeking and knowing You! I ask this in the name of Jesus because he made this possible, amen.

Psalm 139:1-24

You have searched me, Lord, 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, Lord, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay 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. If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around me,” even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My 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. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them! Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—when I awake, I am still with you.

If only you, God, would slay the wicked! Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty! They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name. Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord, and abhor those who are in rebellion against you? I have nothing but hatred for them; I count them my enemies.

Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
