Psalm 139

Since the day I found out I was pregnant, it's been hard not to constantly worry about the life growing inside of me. I quickly began to research all the dos and don'ts and made a long list of things I didn't want to eat or put on my body or do while this baby was growing inside of me. But even with all the precautions you can take, there are still so many things that can go wrong...miscarriage, placenta issues, disorders, diseases, malformations, etc. Even now, with baby's birthday so near, I still worry that he won't be healthy. I am constantly drawn to Psalm 139...such a comforting reminder that God is in control...

For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother's womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
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,
your eyes saw my unformed body.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.

How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I awake,
I am still with you.
