Heavenly Father,

In the vastness of Your creation, we stand in awe of Your knowledge and presence. You have searched us, Lord, and You know us. You understand our thoughts from afar, intricately weaving us in our mother’s womb.

Before a word is on our tongue, You know it completely, O Lord. Such knowledge is too wonderful for us, too lofty for us to attain. Where can we go from Your Spirit? Where can we flee from Your presence? If we rise on the wings of the dawn or settle on the far side of the sea, even there Your hand will guide us, Your right hand will hold us fast.

You created our inmost being; You knit us together. We praise You because we are fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, we know that full well. Even the darkness will not be dark to You; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to You.

Lead us in the way everlasting, O Lord. In Your love and wisdom, guide our paths. Help us to always remember that we are never hidden from Your sight, and in Your light, we find our true selves.

In Jesus’ name, we pray.

Amen.
