MOVEMENT ONE: GOD SEES ME – The End of HidingPsalm

139:1–18“You have searched me, Lord, and you know me…” (v.1)

“You know when I sit and when I rise…” – That’s everyday routine stuff.

“You perceive my thoughts from afar.” – Even the things I don’t say out loud.

“Before a word is on my tongue, you, Lord, know it completely.
”“That’s not just knowing what I say—it’s knowing why I say it. Even when I don’t.”

MOVEMENT TWO: GOD CAN HANDLE MY RAWNESS

– The Permission to Be Real

Psalm 139:19–22“If only you, God, would slay the wicked! Away from me, you who are bloodthirsty!” (v.19)

Emotions Are Meant to Be Brought to God, Not Hidden From Him

“Church has sometimes taught us:

Don’t show that. Clean it up.

But David shows us something deeper:
Bring it before the Lord.
Even your anger.
Even your envy.
Even your confusion.
”“You can’t heal what you won’t reveal.
You can’t surrender what you won’t admit.”

MOVEMENT THREE: GOD CALLS ME TO CHANGE – The Invitation to Transformation

Psalm 139:23–24“Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”

“What if we stopped praying, ‘God, help me fix my life,’and started praying, ‘God, show me what’s really going on inside—and lead me to life.’”“That’s what baptism is.It’s not just a symbol—it’s a surrender.

God sees me – I can stop hiding.

God can handle my rawness – I can be honest.

God calls me to change – I can surrender and be transformed.
