Have you ever considered what God thinks about you? Many of us shrink back with a well-documented ledger of outbursts over chores left undone, the hustle while struggling to slow down, or comparisons that leave us paralyzed.
We project onto God a summary of our daily wins and losses. There’s pain in how we think God sees us, especially when we’re in the thick of it.
This week’s Grace Prayer episode unearths Psalm 139, highlighting God’s intimate knowledge and unconditional love for us. God’s perception of us is not based on our behavior or performance but on His unwavering presence and favored thoughts about us.
This is grace. Grace for you. Grace for them.

Grace Quotes from the episode:
Like toothpaste out of the tube, right? Words can’t be put back in. The damage was done.
I knew I should have been more gracious. I knew it. You know it. We all know it. Grace is the better way. But sometimes, grace is hard to come by.
Grace is that muffled voice that has something important to say about who we’re becoming, but it gets drowned out in the movements of everyday life.
Receive your place as a beloved daughter or son, slowed and softened, nurtured by God’s real grace into your ordinary, everyday, real life.
