10-08-2024 Psalm 139 V-1316 Knitted by You Lord in my Mother’s Womb

The Book of Psalms Chapter 111 v- One thru Five

13 You formed my inmost being; you knit me in my mother’s womb. 14 I praise you, because I am wonderfully made; wonderful are your works! My very self you know. 15 My bones are not hidden from you, When I was being made in secret, fashioned in the depths of the earth. 16 Your eyes saw me unformed; in your book all are written down; my days were shaped, before one came to be.

Psalm 139:13-16 beautifully encapsulates the profound sanctity of life, emphasizing that each person is intricately woven together by their Creator. The verses affirm that God formed our inward parts and knit us together in our mother’s womb, highlighting the intimate and purposeful nature of our existence. These words resonate deeply with anyone who contemplates the value of life, particularly in the context of challenging circumstances, such as the discussions surrounding abortion.

During my time praying at the abortion clinic in Miami at 6660 SW 117th Ave every Saturday for more than five years, these verses echoed within me deeply each week. Each prayer I offered reflected my belief that every unborn child is uniquely designed and cherished by God. I felt a sense of responsibility to advocate for those who could not advocate for themselves, remembering that each life is known to God even before it takes its first breath.

As I stood in front of the clinic, I often thought of the intricate details of life that the Psalmist speaks of—how God sees and knows us fully, from our formation in the womb to our ultimate destiny in adulthood. The realization that every soul has a purpose and a plan instilled in me a profound sense of hope. It reinforced my commitment to pray for both the mothers facing difficult decisions and the unborn children who deserve a chance at life. I witnessed many miracles there that have never left my soul.

In those moments of prayer, I sought to embody the love and compassion of God, trusting that even amidst the struggles and complexities of life, every human being is a testament to His creativity and grace. Psalm 139:13-16 became not just words on a page, but a powerful affirmation of the value of life itself and my calling card of Truth. Amen.

Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. The Lord’s Prayer.

At the Savior's command and formed by divine teaching, we dare to say:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may be always free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ. For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen Son in Law Mark Stern; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. We pray for Holy Mother Church. Our prayers for our niece Brittany. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

10-08-2024 Psalm 139 V-1316

**Knitted by You Lord in my Mother’s Womb**

In secret depths, where shadows play,

You formed my frame, both night and day.

With tender hands, my life began,

Your masterpiece, Your perfect plan.

Each thread of flesh, each heartbeat's song,

In whispered grace, where I belong.

You saw my days, both bright and dim,

In Your great love, I’m held within.

Before I breathed, before I knew,

You charted paths, my soul to view.

Every moment, in Your sight,

A sacred dance, a spark of light.

Your thoughts of me, they weave and flow,

More vast than sands, more deep than woe.

In every tear, in every smile,

You walk beside me, all the while.

Oh, wondrous God, my heart's delight,

In darkness, You are my one and only true light.

From womb to world, I’m known and free,

In every breath, I worship Thee. Amen.
