A Shepherd's Care

SCRIPTURE

 

Psalm 23:1

The Lord is my shepherd;
      I have all that I need.

 

PRAYER

 

You are ______’s shepherd Lord. You love her deeply. You know her pain. You understand, when those around her could not possibly. You see every empty place, every heartache, every moment of aloneness, every fear, and the despair that sometimes envelops it all. You are her shepherd. You know the real needs that even she does not comprehend. As she comes to know your shepherd care, she feels your tenderness and strength flow together in a way that answers her cries and meets her needs. The pain remains, and her aching soul still throbs, but it’s different knowing your care, more secure, more at peace. I ask that at this moment you would fill ______’s heart with a quiet reminder of your shepherd care. May she feel your presence, your protection, and your healing. And may she be overwhelmed with the knowing that all her needs are met in you.

 

 

ENCOURAGEMENT

 

The great shepherd offers you all that you truly need. Rest in his care. Rest.
