In the depths of the psalmist’s soul, there is a humble cry: “Yet I am poor and needy; may the Lord think of me.” This heartfelt plea reveals a profound truth about our relationship with God: when we are redeemed, we are not simply improved or polished versions of our former selves. Instead, we are fundamentally made new—completely recreated by divine power. This process of renewal, this spiritual rebirth, is accomplished through God's own act of recreation. His Word, like a seed planted deep within us, has the power to transform us from the inside out. It is through His spoken Word that we are changed—renewed and remade—so that we no longer remain prisoners of sin and corruption. Our struggles and shortcomings are rooted in a fundamental misunderstanding—an incorrect perception of ourselves, of the world, and of God's true nature. These problems stem from a lack of knowledge and insight. However, in His infinite goodness and mercy, God has graciously given us His complete, perfect revelation—His final Word—so that we might understand His divine purposes and align our desires with His will. This perfect Word unites our hearts with His eternal plans, bringing about the miracle of new creation within us. This is precisely why the psalmist prays, “May the Lord think of me.” In those simple yet profound words, he entrusts himself to the divine purpose—recognizing that God's thoughts and plans are ultimately united with his own deepest desires, even when the full mystery of God's wisdom remains beyond his grasp. He humbly acknowledges that he cannot fully comprehend God's ways, but he can trust that God's thoughts are good, right, and perfect. By asking God to think of him, he is expressing a desire to be included in God's divine plan, to be remembered and cared for by the Creator. It is a recognition of the divine mystery—an act of faith that even when we do not understand everything, we can trust in God's perfect knowledge and loving purposes, knowing that His plans for us are rooted in eternal love and wisdom. In summary, this reflection reveals that God's Word is not merely a collection of ancient texts or moral teachings, but the very foundation of reality itself—a divine, life-giving force that sustains and renews all creation. As His new creatures, we are crafted according to His divine thoughts and plans, and through His Word, we are continually reborn and transformed. Our struggles with sin and misunderstanding originate from a lack of knowledge, but God's gracious revelation through His Word restores our understanding and unites us with His eternal purposes. Because God is infinite and beyond our comprehension, He graciously gives us words—prayers, promises, declarations—that help bridge the gap between our limited understanding and His divine wisdom. When we pray, “May the Lord think of me,” we express our trust in His divine plan and our desire to be aligned with His eternal purposes, even when the full scope of His plans remains a mystery to us. Ultimately, God's Word and His presence are the sources of life, renewal, and divine union—an unending stream of divine life flowing into and through us, transforming us into His new creation.
