Q3. (139:13-16) How is an awareness of God's involvement in your prenatal development meant to encourage you? What might this mean to a young woman carrying a child? A young father-to-be? Why is such knowledge overwhelming to us?

I was deliberately and carefully designed and created by the very hand of God with a specific purpose and good plan for life. This encourages me because my life is no accident or mistake. It is for a reason, and that basic reason is to be supremely loved and to love. In that, I have great meaning and purpose and value.

We don’t create life; only God can. Every human life has a purpose, a good plan, and great value. In His sovereignty, God uses some circumstances to create life that don’t make sense to us. But even in what we see as bad situations, every child is designed and created to be a blessing, an answer to some need in the human family, an important little piece in the quilt of history. If only every expectant and new parent could realize how God honors and entrusts to them the privilege of sharing in His glorious work!

This is beyond our comprehension because we cannot see the entire picture (the whole “quilt”); we can’t grasp the higher thoughts and ways of God. Every life is a magnificent, prized work of love, even as it is being knit together in the hidden depths before we can see it.

How does an awareness of God's involvement in your prenatal development meant to encourage you?
God chose your parents He chose you’re country. I think we all ask why are some living a blessed life and why are some borne to parents in the Sudan. We can only look at our own circumstances and says Lord it is your will where I am at, so help me to do your will in my life.

What might this mean to a young woman carrying a child?
I think of abortion. Does this verse not tell us deep in our heart that is a life from the moment of conception.

A young father-to-be?
That new life will be placed in his family to raise and train up in the way he should go. What do you think Joseph felt raising the son of God. All father should feel the same thing about their children.

Why is such knowledge overwhelming to us?
Because our small mind can not understand how great and assume of a God that we serve.

I am truly loved by God

God had plans for me before i was born - so my only act is to live out those plans. It helps us to accept all the things that come our way, knowing because God knows and sees.

To young people expecting a child - - it must help them to see that it is a life in the womb that God has a plan for - overwhelming - - not in the least - - to me it is comforting.

If people understood that God's developed our lives when we are in the womb, then there would be no way to abort that precious gift.

it is encouraging because God meant for me to be here and that how i am today is just how God created me and how He wanted me to look like....it also encourages me to be steadfast in my faith because these verses actually show me how precious i am to God and that He has great plans for me and for my future as well....He alone knows where i am in the structure of His plans and where i am heading.

This also shows how awsome God is and how caring He is for Him to take time out to be there in my creation and mold me in His perfect image.

For an expecting mom and dad to be, this should give them sure knowledge that God has blessed them with His holy presence during the most important time of their lives and to look upon this time as a miracle that it is and also the goodness of Him who brings to us life and life in abudance and also the immense joy of bringing a life that has been ordained to be even before we were here.It does not matter how we got be here( circumstances) what should matter to each and everyone of us is that we are here because we were meant to be.

This knowledge should bring the overwhelming understanding of the fact that I was and still am loved by my heavenly father and that I on my side should do anything to show Him how much i appreciate His love and His presence in my life

Thank you father for the life you have blessed me with and the family that you gave me and the knowledge and understanding that with the same life you have blessed me with there will be trials and tribulation but thriugh it all I have victory through Christ who gives me my daily strenght

from your child always
me

Q3 How does an awareness of God's involvement in your parental developement meant to encourage you?
That God has known me forever. He has formed and nurtured me. He knew when I would be born. He knows the day I will be with Him.


What might this mean to a young woman carrying a child?
That she could trust God to influence her in good ways and prepare her for motherhood.


A young father-to-be?
That his responsibility will be much easier knowing that God cares more for this child than he does.



Why is such knowledge overwhelming to us?
Because it is easier for us to forget about God and carry on our own way.

After 24 years of devotion to my husband whose love for me was changed during his two year stay in Viet Nam which destroyed our marriage relationship and caused me over two years of severe suffering mentally and emotionally, he died at an early age. His life had much potential for the Lord's service and for my children's sake. I was so demolished emotionally in my deep grief my mind could not believe God REALLY loved me, for He was in control and could have saved his life, not mine. Grief stayed with me about seven years and God used this grief for my healing and created in me the ability to love Him again. Ps. 139 revealed to me the reality of God's love for just little me, came like a flash one day. Since my mother had told me she tried to abort me twice before I was born, and she was nearly killed the month before I was born, He spoke to me and said, " I saved your life three times before you were born....you must KNOW MY LOVE IS WHAT SAVED YOU". It was this knowledge, plus the Psalm 139 that enlightened me and healed my heart of the painful rejection I had suffered when my husband, family and I had no friends at that time, were not there to hold my hand or comfort me in any way. I definitely KNOW God loves me due to His own Words which reveal His wonderful plan for my life. so this knowledge of His Word and Truth helps me understand the extreme importance of saving the lives of unborn babies, teaching young people their self-value in God's eyes, and the bringing up a child from the beginning in the Lord's ways, for we share in the responsibility of their quality of life on earth as God gave parents that privilege and responsibility as co-sharers in the Body of Christ and His church and kingdom....on earth.
God our Father is GOOD, and His Word teaches and guides us in ALL our ways, if we will only seek Him and His face and His Kingdom. I am encouraged that even today that His will will be done and my prayers of faith and love are a significant part of His will for my life as I obey Him and Love Him and others. The mystery of His love is too deep for my understanding, but it suffices as does His Grace and Love unto us.

Q3. (139:13-16) How is an awareness of God's involvement in your prenatal development meant to encourage you?

It shows me that God had his hand in my life even before I was formed in the womb of my mother. That he had already set his love upon me. It shows me that he knows me even my deepest thoughts and he cares about me and loves me still. If he had not thought that I would be a good servant he could have destroyed me then but he knew me and loved me before I was there so he will help me to make it and come out with victory in my life for him.

What might this mean to a young woman carrying a child?

As a mother of three children this is one of the greatest things God has ever done. He knew my child before I did. He made sure they will become special in my life as well as in the life of others. God is awesome his love reaches places a mom cannot go. To see a new baby and know it is there you have carried it and brought it into this world to praise the Lord and do things for his glory it is truly awesome. God will never let them forget he is our God and he will keep them all the days of their life. He knows what will become of them. Lord I place this again today back into your willing hands of mercy. Thank you Jesus.


A young father-to-be? Why is such knowledge overwhelming to us?

A father is like a mother in many ways he does not carry this child 9 months but he know this is his seed that God has let live and come to be. He knows that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. God is so good to us and I know one day they will all be serving our Lord and Savior. Thank you Jesus for your promises are truth. You are Faithful and True. Praise your Holy name forever.

That when you were created you were meant to be just as you are. God makes no mistakes. God's character ges into the creation of every person - God's intricate and tender care for us in the womb. We were preordained prior to conception and all part of God's great plan. What a comforting thought.

Knowing that GOD has taken such intricate measures in "personally" designing me, He would not deliberately design me to fail. I've heard and often used the phrase "GOD has a plan your life", I really believe now that it started in the womb.

I've recently prayed with a young Christian who's wife was having their first child and the doctors detected a kidney disease that would require a transplant, plus other complications. I gave him this very Psalm to read to encourage him and his wife. Doctors know in part, GOD see's clearly, we've just got to see what GOD see's. After myself and other Saints prayed, the child was born without any birth defects. The Doctor (a specialist from Africa) want to use his x-rays (there was something there) to encourage other parents that man isn't always right, and that GOD can change the word of a Doctor.

Its overwhelming because of the emotional roller coaster ride that the mind takes. Weighing the Word of GOD. I know what it says, but did you read that? I mean, did I read what you just read? It's Awesome.

It's encouragement, because we can be assured that we were created on purpose and for a reason. We were created by someone who loves us very much.

To the parents-to-be this should serve as a reminder that their unborn child is a gift from God...a tiny human entrusted to their care.

That's an awesome responsibility.

Q3. (139:13-16) How is an awareness of God's involvement in your prenatal development meant to encourage you? What might this mean to a young woman carrying a child? A young father-to-be? Why is such knowledge overwhelming to us?

We should have comfort knowing the fact that God knew us before we were ever conceived. God's involvement in my prenatal development is encouraging because He is intimately familiar with me. A woman about to give birth can be comforted knowing that God's hand is there to protect her baby. A young father-to-be can be comforted in knowing that the baby he helped to create will be protected by God. We can be overwhelmed by this knowledge because to know that God is familiar with every detail of our creation means that nothing is hidden from Him and that no matter where we are, God is there and knows everything that is hidden.

I was fearfully and wonderfully made.

God has taken time and special interest in designing and making my being. Its awesome, from now on I must make it a commitment to honor God and endeavor to fullfill his purpose in me. Thank you lord for the knowlege that you had made me in your perfect will and plan.

Thank you.

Q3. (139:13-16) How is an awareness of God's involvement in your prenatal development meant to encourage you?
THIS PROVES THAT I AM HERE FOR A REASON. THAT EVERYTHING I DO WAS CAREFULLY PLANNED OUT BY GOD BEFORE I WAS EVEN CREATED. EVERY MOVEMENT THAT I MAKE, EVERY BREATH I TAKE, EVERY PERSON I MEET, IS ALL A PART OF HIS PLAN FOR ME AND MY LIFE. THIS PROVES THAT IN NO WAY SHOULD I EVER BELIEVE THAT I AM A MISTAKE, THAT I WAS CREATED TO BE A PART OF GOD'S PLANS.

What might this mean to a young woman carrying a child?
THIS SHOULD BE IMPORTANT TO SOMEONE WHO IS CARRYING A CHILD BECAUSE IT IS KNOWN THAT THIS CHILD IS IN GOD'S PLAN.

A young father-to-be?
SHOULD KNOW OF THIS SPECIAL GIFT OF CREATION THAT GOD HAS GIVEN. A FATHER SHOULD TEACH HIS CHILD THE WAYS OF THE LORD. A FATHER SHOULD TAKE CARE OF HIS CHILDREN, LOVING THEM, CARING FOR THEM AND CHERISHING THIS WONDERFUL GIFT GIVEN FROM GOD.

Why is such knowledge overwhelming to us?
IT IS OVERWHELMING TO BELIEVE BECAUSEE IT IS SOMETIMES HARD TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE WERE THOUGHT ABOUT IN ADVANCE. A PLAN WAS MADE FOR US BEFORE WE WERE EVEN CONCEIVED.

Q3 139:13-16

How does an awareness of God's involvement in you prental development meant to encourage you? What might this mean to a young woman carrying a child? A young father-to-be? Why is such knowledge overwhelming to us?

That we are fearfully and wonderfully made and knit together in my mother's womb. Even before we were born God chose us. It is so amazing to think about it. God's character goes into the creation of every person. Sometimse it is so over whleming when you think about it. But God makes no mistakes and we just have to have the faith to believe that God makes us in his likeness. He knows the beginning and the end. We just have to believe.

It encourages me because it reminds of how intimately and completely God knows and loves me adn how specifically He has designed me to be myself.
It would remind the parents that this is in fact a person being formed by the hand of God and must be loved and regarded as such.
Such intimate, loving care for such an awesome, all powerful God is overwhelming but so very precious.

It is truly miraculous to think that God created each one of us and has a plan for every life. We may not understand why some people are formed with imperfections, but that is something only God can know. He can use every person if that person will allow Him to use them.

Both the mother and the father of an expectant child should be thrilled to know that God has allowed that child to be born and that He is forming that child according to His own special plan.

It is overwhelming to think that God has created every person who has ever lived and who will ever live. What an awesome God we serve!

When God Almighty takes care of me right from the day of conception, what more do I need. Its a great feeling to know that my life has been taken care of, the whole term through. Whether I live for 4 days or 40 years, I know my Lord knows every bit of that term. It is a feeling beyond all measure, that only we as children of God are privileged to have.

For a young woman or a man, this is a special occassion. They have, with the help of God, started a new life in thier married life. They are responsible for that life, which God had entrusted them with. Abortion should be deleted from thier minds. It is a God given responsibility that they should fulfill with all their hearts.

This kind of knowledge is too mystifying to us. Even David who was so close to God, said it is too deep for me to understand. We are limited in our understanding of the ways of God. And we should not try to understand everything. If God gives us the revelation, then its good. Otherwise, we should leave it to the will of God. We should not make amends or course corrections in our life or in the childs life out of our own will.

It seems so obvious that God is involved in everything including my prenatal development.

I was not a Christian each and every time I was pregnant, but I cannot linger on that.
I do pray however for my presaved family members and friends who are having babies that God will use this special time for His glory and the parents deep awareness of the miracle that it is and become a tool to lead the whole family into the Kingdom.

The knowledge of the Kingdom is so overwhelming. I cannot fathom it, though I do wish I could.
