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.
Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart in the company of the upright, in the congregation. Great are the works of the Lord; studied by all who delight in them. Psalm 111:1-2
Dear Lord,
Today we come to you with thankful hearts, acknowledging the great things you have done for us. We are full to overflowing with both your tangible and intangible blessings! We will name them one by one. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
