SIGHTS AND SOUNDS OF SHEPHERD'S WALK Romans 1:20 NLT

For ever since the world was created,

people have seen the earth and sky.

Through everything God made,

they can clearly see His invisible qualities—

His eternal power and divine nature.

So they have no excuse for not knowing God.

Lamentations 2:10-12

(New Living Translation)

[from Jeremiah - the weeping prophet]
The leaders of beautiful Jerusalem

sit on the ground in silence.

They are clothed in burlap

and throw dust on their heads.

The young women of Jerusalem

hang their heads in shame.
I have cried until the tears no longer come;

my heart is broken.

My spirit is poured out in agony

as I see the desperate plight of my people.

Little children and tiny babies

are fainting and dying in the streets.
They cry out to their mothers,

“We need food and drink!”

Their lives ebb away in the streets

like the life of a warrior wounded in battle.

They gasp for life

as they collapse in their mothers’ arms.

Olam - Our Eternal God

We cry out for those who are broken and dying.

We ask You to be close to those we love because we know

that You love them more than we ever could.

Would You show mercy and grace to those who call out to You?

Would You allow Your Spirit to flow freely to bring healing

whether physical, spiritual, emotional, or relational?

Please comfort those who mourn.

Draw near to those who draw near to You.

We know that You - O God know the pain of suffering and brokenness.

Please cause Your goodness to touch

the lives of those we pray for this day.

Bring healing to some and heaven to others.

We bless You and praise You for the

compassionate and merciful God that You are!

In the Name of our Redeemer and Lord, Jesus Christ,

[HaGoEl Adoni]

Amen and Amen!

Come, Let Us ADORE Him

from

The Message

Psalm 22

22-24 Here's the story I'll tell my friends when they come to worship,

and punctuate it with Hallelujahs:

Shout Hallelujah, you God-worshipers;

give glory, you sons of Jacob;

adore Him, you daughters of Israel.

He has never let you down,

never looked the other way

when you were being kicked around.

He has never wandered off to do His own thing;

He has been right there, listening.

Father God -

You are God Most Holy!

We adore You in all Your Majesty this day.

Thank You for being Who You are - even apart from all You do for us.

May we - this day - Give You Praise and Adore You in all Your fullness

simply because You are God - our God - my God!

LOST & FOUND

Isaiah 53:6

We all, like sheep , have gone astray,

each of us has turned to his own way;

and the LORD has laid on Him

the iniquity of us all.

A LITTLE SHEPHERD BOY

LORD ---

You are my Shepherd - and my Provider, therefore there is nothing that I need. Everything is taken care of so let me learn to TRUST YOU when I can't see the pathway ahead. You have an obsession to be TRUSTED. Today I will surrender my will to Yours and allow Thy Rod and Thy staff to comfort me as You lead me to quiet waters and give me REST! Amen!
