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 him deeply. You know his pain. You understand, when those around him 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 his shepherd. You know the real needs that even he does not comprehend. As he comes to know your shepherd care, he feels your tenderness and strength flow together in a way that answers his cries and meets his needs. The pain remains, and his 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 he feel your presence, your protection, and your healing. And may he be overwhelmed with the knowing that all his needs are met in you.

 

 

ENCOURAGEMENT

 

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