Psalms 139

Verse 4

“Before I even speak a word, you know what I will say”

We pray to let ourselves know what we want from God, and to develop our understanding of this connection.  God already knows everything, you pray to become aware of that.

Verse 7-10

“Where could I go to escape from your Spirit or from your sight?

If I were to climb up to the highest heavens, you would be there.  If I were to dig down to the world of the dead you would also be there.

Suppose I had wings like the dawning day and flew across the ocean.

Even then your powerful arm would guide and protect me.”

God is everywhere, even in death He rules.  He is the God of death, and none can escape from Him through death.  You cannot escape Life through suicide.  If you submit to God, also, there is no way you will be able to stray from His presence; He is that dependable.
