How to be free after failure

Feb 22, 2026    Pastor Robert Ziehmer

This powerful exploration of Psalm 139 reminds us of a profound truth we often forget: we are fully known and deeply loved by God. The message wrestles with universal human experiences - feeling like failures, questioning whether our lives matter, wondering if we've made a difference. Through David's ancient prayer, we discover four transformative truths that speak directly to our modern anxieties. God knows us completely, not just superficially but intimately - our thoughts, fears, dreams, and even the words we haven't yet spoken. More remarkably, God pursues us relentlessly, even when we try to hide in shame or run from our failures. The beautiful imagery of being 'fearfully and wonderfully made' challenges us to see ourselves as God sees us - as unique, handcrafted masterpieces, not mass-produced items. Finally, we're reminded that God has specific plans for each of us, plans that only we can fulfill.
