Here is a prayer I found on the interenet that I thought was very appropriate for today:
Shepherd:
I am the Good Shepherd. Fear not for I am with you. Do not be dismayed for I am you Lord. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. I will hold you up with my right hand.
All:
Yes, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for You are with me. Your rod for protection and your staff for guidance, they comfort me.
Shepherd:
I am your Shepherd. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, you shall not drowned. When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned.
All:
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you will revive me. Lord You stretch out Your hand against the wickedness of my enemies, and your right hand saves me.
Shepherd:
You are the sheep of my pasture, I have created you, formed you. Do not fear for I have redeemed you. I have called you by your name. You are mine.
All:
Though many should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident. You, Lord, are the Shepherd of my soul. You are my light and my salvation., You are the strength of my life. How great is Your goodness toward those who trust in You!.
Shepherd:
I am the Good Shepherd and I say to you “Fear not little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom. He has determined to give you the Kingdom.”
All:
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
My husband has created a homemade alarm system that turns on a radio if there is movement around our woods. The funny thing is that squirrels, racoons or anything can set it off (and does quit often). Last night I was lying in the bed almost asleep and the radio came on and the announcer said, "Isn't it good to know that God is in control no matter what happens?" He then went on the read the Psalms that you referred to yesterday. I'm starting to like that homemade alarm system:) Thank-you for sharing your prayer....Jodi
