O God who hems us in -
Lay Your hands upon us. Stand behind and before us as we sit down and as we rise.
O God who knows us completely -
Search our hearts and search out our paths. Become acquainted with our ways, and discern our thoughts.
O God who forms us -
We praise You for Your wondrous works. Remind us that You fearfully and wonderfully create us - that You intricately weave us within earth’s depths.
O God who beholds unformed substances -
You see what is yet to exist. May we trust Your vast knowledge that numbers more than the grains of sand.
In the name of the One who is with - and for - us, we pray.
Amen.
