Read these verses from the Psalm three times to remind yourself who knows you best.
“O Lord, you have examined my heart
and know everything about me.
You know when I sit down or stand up.
You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.
You see me when I travel
and when I rest at home.
You know everything I do.”
Psalm 139:1-3 NLT
Then ask a parent or guardian to help you print out a map of where you live.
Mark your map using the key below.
Use a highlighter to trace the roads your family uses, and then read Psalm 139:1–3 out loud.
God always knows where you are, what you’re doing, and what you’re thinking and feeling. Wherever you go, whatever you think or feel, God understands and loves you!
Use a red marker to draw a large heart that surrounds all the places you’ve highlighted on your map.
Now you can hang your map in your room to help you remember the verses you just learned!
Bonus Idea
You also can print a map of the world or your country and mark different places you’ve been or lived.
