A Prayer For Little Lambs

A PRAYER FOR LITTLE LAMBS

By:  Julie Souza Bradley Lilly

“On my bed I remember you; I think of you through the watches of the night.  Because you are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.  I cling to you; your right hand upholds me.” - Psalm 63:6-8 NIV

Many of us greet this morning with concerns, fears or confusion.  Distraction caused us to lose sight of our shepherd, and we became confused, frightened and lost.  We all like sheep have gone astray (Is 53:6).  When we cry out, our anxious bleats meet the attentive ears of the One whose rod and staff comfort us.

Lord, You are our Good Shepherd. You lay down Your life for Your sheep. We need wisdom for the decisions ahead. The voices surrounding us may say to go this way or that, but there is One voice we long to hear above all others.  We long to hear Your voice.  Your Word reminds us:

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” – Philippians 4:6 NIV

We praise You that we are not sheep without a Shepherd. We love You, because in Your incomprehensible mercy, You loved us first (1 John 4:19).

When lions roar, help us to run to You and be safe (Ps 34:10). Feed is by Your hand (Ps 95:7) and make us lie down in green pastures.  Refresh us beside still waters (Ps 23). Give us rest from our weariness and satisfy our thirst with Your living water (John 4:14).  

With gentleness minister to our wounds.  Calm our hearts with Your voice and reassuring touch. 

The path ahead of us is well worn. You have come this way many times before.  You know every curve, where to step and when to rest. Your confidence brings us peace.

Guide Your little lambs.  Close gates that lead astray; open those that lead us home.  And lead us in the way everlasting. (Psalm 139:24).  In Jesus’ Name ❤️
