When the week starts tugging at your sleeve, it’s tempting to tighten your mask and push through. We chose a different path: a quiet pause in Psalm 139 where God’s intimate knowledge meets unshakable love. “Fully known and fully loved” is more than a comforting line—it’s a foundation you can stand on when the calendar is full and your heart feels thin.

We read Psalm 139:1–2 from the NLT and unpack how God’s attention reaches the smallest details—when you sit, when you stand, the thoughts you can barely name. Instead of recoiling from your doubts or demanding perfect faith, God draws closer. That flips the script on spiritual performance. You don’t have to edit yourself to be welcomed; you’re invited to show up exactly as you are. From there, we talk about the deep relief that comes when you stop pretending, the freedom that grows when honesty replaces image management, and the confidence that rises when love—not perfection—secures your identity.

To make this real, we offer a simple practice: spend five quiet minutes today telling God the truth about your fears, questions, and hopes. No polished language, no pressure to impress. This small act becomes a weekly reset that strengthens peace, builds resilience, and creates space for genuine faith to breathe. We also point you to Rick’s daily wisdom starting tomorrow and remind you to share this message with someone who needs encouragement right now.

If this helped you breathe a little easier, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so others can find this moment of rest. Your voice helps us keep creating space for honest faith and steady hope.

00:00:35.359 --> 00:00:38.320
Hey, it's the weekend, and you made it.

00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:41.200
This is Wisdom for the Day, Weekends with Lauren.

00:00:41.600 --> 00:00:44.640
Let's rest our hearts before a new week begins.

00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:49.679
Today is day 11.

00:00:49.920 --> 00:00:52.400
You are fully known and fully loved.

00:00:52.560 --> 00:00:58.159
We'll be in Psalm chapter 139, verses 1 through 2 from the New Living Translation.

00:00:58.400 --> 00:01:01.519
Hey, it's Sunday, and I'm really glad you're here.

00:01:01.679 --> 00:01:08.240
I'm Lauren, and I love that we get to close out the weekend by slowing down and focusing on God's truth together.

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:15.120
Before the week starts pulling at you, let's take a moment to breathe and be reminded of something deeply comforting.

00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:18.960
Psalm 139 opens with this powerful reality.

00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.719
Oh Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me.

00:01:22.879 --> 00:01:25.200
You know when I sit down or stand up.

00:01:25.359 --> 00:01:28.319
You know my thoughts, even when I'm far away.

00:01:28.640 --> 00:01:31.439
God knows you completely.

00:01:33.280 --> 00:01:44.479
Not just the version of you that other people see, not just the words you say out loud, he knows your thoughts, your worries, your questions, and the things you struggle to put into words.

00:01:44.960 --> 00:01:49.199
He knows the fears you carry quietly and the hopes you don't always share.

00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:51.840
And here's the part that changes everything.

00:01:52.159 --> 00:01:53.759
He loves you anyway.

00:01:54.159 --> 00:01:58.080
So many of us live as if we need to hide parts of ourselves.

00:01:58.240 --> 00:02:05.439
We perform, we pretend, and we even polish the outside while trying to manage what's going on inside.

00:02:06.479 --> 00:02:08.719
But with God, there's no need to pretend.

00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:19.680
Standing strong in your identity means learning to rest in this truth.

00:02:19.919 --> 00:02:23.680
You are fully known and fully loved at the same time.

00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:31.840
God isn't surprised by your struggles, he isn't disappointed by your questions, and he doesn't pull away when you're honest.

00:02:32.240 --> 00:02:33.919
He draws closer.

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:39.199
You don't have to earn his affection, you don't have to clean yourself up before coming to him.

00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:46.000
You are invited to show up exactly how you are because he already knows and he still chooses you.

00:02:46.320 --> 00:02:48.640
There is so much freedom in that.

00:02:48.960 --> 00:02:54.719
When you stop hiding and start trusting God with your whole heart, you begin to walk with confidence and peace.

00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:59.680
Not because everything is perfect, but because you know you're secure in his love.

00:02:59.920 --> 00:03:01.200
Let's pray.

00:03:01.920 --> 00:03:05.520
Lord, thank you for knowing me completely and loving me fully.

00:03:05.760 --> 00:03:09.680
Help me live honestly before you without fear or pretense.

00:03:09.920 --> 00:03:15.520
Teach me to rest in your love and walk confidently into this new week, trusting that I am safe with you.

00:03:15.840 --> 00:03:16.480
Amen.

00:03:18.080 --> 00:03:19.680
Now, do something for me.

00:03:19.920 --> 00:03:23.520
Spend five quiet minutes today talking honestly with God.

00:03:23.680 --> 00:03:27.439
Share your real thoughts, your real feelings, and your real struggles.

00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:29.120
Hold nothing back.

00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:33.680
Let this be a reminder that you are fully known and fully loved.

00:03:34.080 --> 00:03:39.200
And remember, Rick has your daily dose of wisdom for the day all week long, starting tomorrow.

00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.560
And I'll see you next Saturday on weekends with Lauren.

00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:47.840
Well, that's all for today.

00:03:48.240 --> 00:03:52.960
But remember, I'm here every weekend, and you should be too.

00:03:53.920 --> 00:03:57.439
If today's meetup encouraged you, don't keep it to yourself.

00:03:57.680 --> 00:04:04.960
Share this episode with someone who might need it right now: a friend, a family member, or someone walking through a hard season.
