Psalm 139 is one of the very best of the bunch. It opens with these startling, intimate and revealing words: You have searched me, Lord,and you know me.You know when I sit and when I rise;you perceive my thoughts from afar.You discern my going out and my lying down;you are familiar with all my ways. "How are you doing?" The Lord is so deeply interested in the answer to this question. Of course, like the psalm says, Jesus knows exactly how you are doing. He knows us better than we know ourselves. And that's part of the challenge of long seasons like the one we're in now. We can lose touch with what's really going on in our interior life. I believe the Holy Spirit is asking us this question, not for His sake, but for ours. We're going to get really practical and talk about a couple of truly sustaining prayer practices that will help meaningfully answer the question that God is most certainly drawing your attention to. How are you?
