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;
    if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
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,
    your right hand will hold me fast.
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;
    the night will shine like the day,
    for darkness is as light to you.

13 For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
15 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.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be.
17 How precious to me are your thoughts,[a] God!
    How vast is the sum of them!
18 Were I to count them,
    they would outnumber the grains of sand—
    when I awake, I am still with you.

19 If only you, God, would slay the wicked!
    Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!
20 They speak of you with evil intent;
    your adversaries misuse your name.
21 Do I not hate those who hate you, Lord,
    and abhor those who are in rebellion against you?
22 I have nothing but hatred for them;
    I count them my enemies.
23 Search me, God, and know my heart;
    test me and know my anxious thoughts.
24 See if there is any offensive way in me,
    and lead me in the way everlasting.

Prayer: {If you have longer to pray, pray through this entire Psalm! I love praying this one for my kids! But this is also a great one to take phrases from and cling to them, meditate on them, through your day!}

Lord, You have searched me and You know me and my children. You know when we sit and when we rise. You understand our thoughts. Behold, You know us all together. And that You love us still? Your love amazes us and we can’t ever tell You how grateful we are for Your love.

God, You have hedged me behind and before, You have laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me.

Where can we go from Your Spirit, Lord? May my children never doubt that truth, Oh Lord! They cannot flee from Your presence. That gives me comfort as a mom as well! Lord, write these truths on our heart.

The darkness will not hide You, Lord. {This is a phrase i like to repeat when really having a period of depression and darkness in my own life.} 

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