Psalm 139: 1-16

"O LORD, you have searched me 

       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 know it completely, O LORD.

   You hem me in—behind and before; 
       you have laid 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."

Sweet Father...thank you for your word.  Thank you for knitting together my precious little Karleigh Mei so perfectly and wonderfully.  Thank you for keeping your hand on her.  Only in you do I find the most perfect comfort and peace!
