1 O LORD, you have searched me and you know me.
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
2 You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
3 You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
4 Before a word is on my tongue
4 Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O LORD.
5 You hem me in—behind and before;
5 You hem me in—behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
7 Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
8 If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
9 If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
10 even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
11 If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,"
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
12 even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
I think I have shared this Psalm before...and I have a feeling I will share it again. It speaks to me, it whispers sweet nothings to me, it gives me hope and lets me know that I am not going this alone. Ever. May it whisper sweet nothings to you, too, today. xo

Words of comfort - this Psalm springs to mind so often when I'm feeling pressed and down...
Thank you for sharing, once again!
Have a great day, friend!
yeah, because I totally goofed on my comment.
anyways, I love the picture. And the Psalm you shared sure makes me think.
I love that Psalm. It's one of my very favorites. I love how he knit me together in my mother's womb. He knows my thoughts from afar.
I'm so blessed.
Love!
