Sheep

Dear Lord please be with us this day and please give us the insight necessary to understand Your Word, and may we see ourselves and others as helpless sheep in need of the care from the Shepherd who has the power to supply all our needs. If we can but imagine the trauma of being wet and cold in the mud, thorns, and stones ready to surrender to death, being raised up by a Power beyond our understanding, and being given a Peace of mind beyond our comprehension, if we only relax and surrender our will for the Shepherds. In Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
