Being Kept By The Good Shepherd

Being Kept By The Good Shepherd

Abba Father, My God, The Good Shepherd, who has kept us through the storms and night to witness another blessed day. Father, this morning when I rose, I did so with gratitude and praise for the chance to begin again with You as my refuge and strength, and With Your Spirit as my guide who will direct me along the Path of Life with compassion and integrity. Lord, I am so thankful that You are my Shepherd whom I trust and depend on as my Jehovah Rohi, who leads me and guides me in the Paths of Righteousness, a place of stillness and safety, and You supply more than I need and desire. I am unafraid because I believe with all my heart and soul You will protect, defend, and save us from attackers, You will bring us back to the flock when and if we stray, and You will always watch over us night and day. I also believe You will never abandon us, and we can trust You all the days of our lives, and You will never grow weary. Lord, God, as I bask in Your glory, I make an attempt to count my blessings great and small, but they are too numerous. I am thankful that You have given me the wisdom to know when I am blessed and to know there are some things that only You can do. Therefore, I dare not grumble, or become impatient, believing You will make every wrong right, and You will deal with those who are wicked and abuse their positions of authority to cause disunity, uproars, incite hatred, stealing, killings, civil disobedience, and destruction of every kind to humankind and the earth. Father, as I ponder the state of the world and the leaders in the churches and state, very few if any fit the criteria for being a shepherd. According to Your Word good shepherds or leaders are sacrificial, willing to ignore their own needs in order to meet the needs of the people. The Ones who lead today surely would not sacrifice their own comfort and life for the needs of the people. O’ Lord, please open the eyes and understanding of those who are too blind to see or understand the consequences of following and trusting humankind, instead of depending on You for all that they need. So, I ask You, Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, let there be a time of revelation and truth. I believe no one can turn things around but You…Please, help us and save us. Hallelujah! Amen!

Psalm 23:1-4 NLT: The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along the right paths, bringing honor to his name. Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.

Grand Rising Everyone! Please Remember, “Jesus Christ, is the Good Shepherd, who appeared as the guide, the protector, the healer, and shepherd of his sheep, who gave to all who were willing to receive spiritual food, healing, care, and mercy. Jesus Christ, the Good Shepherd, finds joy in seeing the weak and suffering sheep to find their way towards spiritual healing.” When He ascended into heaven, He left the Holy Spirit as our comforter to lead us, guide us, and teach us more about our Father who is our supply. Abundant blessings!

*Prayer is free, it is only when man transcribed it from the scrolls putting their own twist on it that it became for sale, this displeases God. We do know right from wrong whether we do it or not, God put it in our hearts before we were born. Please share with those who are open to receiving the word of our Lord and Savior, the way of salvation, and all of God’s blessings.
