David describes his dependence on God in Psalms 137-139. “I give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart… for your steadfast love and your faithfulness… On the day I called, you answered me; my strength of soul you increased… Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you preserve my life“.
David also acknowledges God’s omniscience, “O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar… Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether”.
This knowledge is something we, like David, can take comfort in. There is no point in our life that God does not know more about us than even we ourselves know. “Even the very hairs of your head are all numbered“. Let us allow God’s hand to hold and lead us, guiding us “in the way everlasting“.
