Frequently Asked Questions

Does God really think about me individually?

Yes. Psalm 139:17-18 says His thoughts toward you outnumber the sand. You are not lost in the crowd — God knows you by name, knows every hair on your head (Matthew 10:30), and has plans specifically for you (Jeremiah 29:11).

What does 'engraved on the palms of my hands' mean?

Unlike writing that can be erased, engraving is permanent. God is saying His commitment to remembering you is indelible — it cannot be removed, faded, or forgotten. You are a permanent part of His attention.
