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.
By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and by the breath of his mouth all their host. Psalm 33:6
Dear Lord,
You created all the galaxies by your word alone. You named each and every star and hold them in place. They move at your bidding. Now that's power. Please forgive me when I put you in a box. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
