Day 65: Ember Faith Prayer Countdown

Psalm 139 is a beautiful acknowledgement of God's love for us and His foreknowledge of us. It is a reminder that He uniquely created us, He has plans for us, and He is always with us. Today, we begin to pray a short series of prayers for our daughter inspired by the 139th Psalm.

Psalm 139:1-12 NLT

O Lord, you have examined my heart

and know everything about me.

2 You know when I sit down or stand up.

You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.

3 You see me when I travel

and when I rest at home.

You know everything I do.

4 You know what I am going to say

even before I say it, Lord.

5 You go before me and follow me.

You place your hand of blessing on my head.

6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,

too great for me to understand!

7 I can never escape from your Spirit!

I can never get away from your presence!

8 If I go up to heaven, you are there;

if I go down to the grave, you are there.

9 If I ride the wings of the morning,

if I dwell by the farthest oceans,

10 even there your hand will guide me,

and your strength will support me.

11 I could ask the darkness to hide me

and the light around me to become night—

12 but even in darkness I cannot hide from you.

To you the night shines as bright as day.

Darkness and light are the same to you.

Today, we pray that Ember would know and feel God's presence.


Dear Heavenly Father, we cannot fathom Your love for us. You know us better than we know ourselves, and You are truly the only one who is always there for us. It is certainly an honor and a privilege to know and feel Your presence ever with us. Lord, in the good times and bad help us to realize that Your presence has never left us and will never leave us. God, we pray that You will make Your presence known to our daughter. May Ember live with the wonderful knowledge that You are always there right beside her, listening and loving her, comforting and calming her, and gently guiding her. Lord, may she feel Your presence in her darkest hours. May our daughter always desire to be in Your presence. May she seek You with all her heart and always find that You have never left her side. This we pray as we faithfully wait for the arrival of our precious daughter, Ember Faith.

 "...and lo, I am with you always, 

even to the end of the age."

Matthew 28:20b NKJV
