Book: Psalm 139:13-16Verse: "For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works at wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, your eyes saw my unformed body. All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be."
Book: Isaiah 43:5Verse: "Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bring your children from the east and gather you from the west."
