Day 24: Somebody Does

If only I was heard

If only I was seen

If only I was accepted....

Knowing what you know about yourself

and

Knowing what other's know about you

Just as I am.

But what if ?

What if you were

Always heard

Always Seen

Always Accepted

Just as you are

What would that look like?

Let's ask God in a letter. Fill in the blanks with your name....

Dear GOD,

1 O LORD, You have searched ___________, LORD, and You know ___________. You know when ____________ sits and when ____________ rises; You perceive ____________ ‘s thoughts from afar. 3 You discern ____________’s going out and ____________’s lying down; You are familiar with all of ____________’s ways. Before a word is on ____________’s tongue, You know it completely, O LORD. You hem ___________ in, behind and before, and You lay Your hand upon ____________. Such knowledge is too wonderful for ____________, too lofty for ____________ to attain. Where can ___________ go from Your Spirit? Where can ____________ flee from Your presence? If ____________ goes up to the heavens, You are there; if ____________ makes his/her bed in the depths, You are there. If ____________ rises on the wings of the dawn, if ____________ settles on the far side of the sea, 10 even there Your hand will guide ____________, Your right hand will hold ____________’s fast. If ____________ says, “Surely the darkness will hide ____________ and the light become night around ______________,” 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 ____________’s inmost being; You knit ____________ together in _________________ mother’s womb. ____________ praises You because ____________ is fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, ____________ knows that full well. ____________’s frame was not hidden from You when ____________ was made in the secret place. When ____________ was woven together in the depths of the earth, Your eyes saw ____________’s unformed body. All the days ordained for ____________ were written in Your book before one of them came to be. How precious to ____________ are Your thoughts, O God! Were ____________ to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. When ____________ awakes, ____________ is still with You. If only You would slay the wicked, O God! Away from ____________, They speak of You with evil intent; Your adversaries misuse Your Name. Search ____________, O God, and know ___________ heart; test ____________ and know _______________'s anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in ____________, and lead ____________ in the way everlasting. (Psalm 139)
