It was by divine design that this Psalm so beautifully describes the Lord God as Our Great And Caring Shepherd. Although it is often used as a great comfort at a time of death or bereavement, it is equally a Psalm that points to the Lord Jesus Christ as our sustenance and support in every season of our lives. The Lord is our Provider and Peace; our Strength and Stay; our Righteousness and our Reward; our Sanctuary and our Shepherd. Looking at the relationship of a human shepherd and his flock is a wonderful reminder of our relationship with Jesus. The sheep recognize the voice of their shepherd, follow him, trust him, and depend on him for food and protection. The relationship between a shepherd and his flock is very close, both on an individual level and for the flock in general. Shepherds put themselves in dangerous situations to protect and care for their flock. What a beautiful picture of our precious Shepherd and we as His sheep. It was by design that the Lord Jesus is so beautifully represented as a tender shepherd; the Good Shepherd Who gave His life for His sheep; the Great Shepherd Who loves His own with a deep compassion; the Chief Shepherd that rescues His scattered straying sheep and gives them life, eternal life, abundant life. Truly we can say in confidence: The LORD is my shepherd; I have all that I need. Our United Prayer:
Thank You, Lord, that You are our Shepherd. You are all that we need, and we love You. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. |

The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
We ask you to pray for this ministry, for its success in helping others in need of prayer. Archives
