A Prayer about Our Inescapable God

All-seeing, All-knowing God,

I admit, there have been times in my life, when it both frightened and irritated me that I could not escape from your presence. 

Thankfully, I know now that you pursue us in our sin, 

seek us out in our hiding, to draw us back to you. 

You love us and you have redeemed us through 

the life, death, and resurrection 

of your Son Jesus Christ, our Savior.

Today, let us sing with gratitude these words:

“You have searched me and known me!” 

And “You hem me in, behind and before, 

and lay your hand upon me” (Psalm 139:1, 5).

Thank you for searching us in order to save us. 

Indeed, “Such knowledge is too wonderful for [us]” (Psalm 139:6).

In the name of Christ our Savior. Amen.

Read Psalm 139:1-12.
