Write any phrases from the selected Bible verses that speak to you:
Close your eyes and envision a sheep wandering off far away from the flock only to get caught on a dangerous sloping hillside. Now see the Shepherd’s relentless pursuit in both finding and rescuing this lost sheep. So often, we get ourselves into our self-created messes, but thankfully our Savior comes to the rescue when we cry out with a repentant heart.
In what way have you felt your Shepherd come to you rescue you from a precarious situation?
After your rescue by your Good Shepherd, what was your reaction?
Write a prayer using the above verses as a reference.
The Lord is good to those whose hope is in him, to the one who seeks him. Lamentations 3:25
Dear Lord,
When we are confused or dissatisfied with circumstances in life, cause us to reevaluate the source of our hope. You are the only hope that fills up; everything else is like water that drains from a cracked vessel. Bind us up in your love, and as we seek you, fill us up with your divine goodness. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
