Prayers Sheep Pray #27

-Roy Lessin

Jesus,

Your arms are open,

Your heart welcomes me—

I run to You because

You do not run away from me.

You are present—

In the hardest moment.

In the deepest trial.

In the greatest test.

No matter what I am facing,

You care.

But a hireling, he who is not the shepherd, one who does not own the sheep, sees the wolf coming and leaves the sheep and flees; and the wolf catches the sheep and scatters them. John 10:12

Jesus,

You gave Your life for me.

You opened the door

Into every good and perfect gift.

You are my good day.

My good night.

My good way.

My soul breathes the air of goodness

And I am comforted.

I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd gives His life for the sheep. John 10:10

Jesus,

You overflow!

You are the abundant Shepherd.

Your living water is a river.

Your pastures are sumptuous.

Your grace abounds.

Your portions run over.

I drink. I dine. I delight.

I love my life in You!

I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.

John 10:10

Jesus,

What words You speak!

Your words heal.

All other voices are static.

They hurt my ears!

Yours is the only clear voice,

The true and peaceful voice.

The voice life-giving,

The voice that speaks to my need,

The voice that feeds me

With daily bread.

All who ever came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them. John 10:8

Jesus,

You are my entry way,

My open way,

My only way.

Because You are my door—

No foe can keep me out,

Block me out, or lock me out

From the promises, the blessings,

The treasures, and the joys

I have in You.

Then Jesus said to them again, "Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. John 10:7

Jesus,

Thank You for being here.

When I flee from strangers,

I flee to You.

You welcome me.

You receive me.

You are my secure place.

In Your presence

I am always home.

Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers. John 10:5

Jesus,
I love Your presence.
You are the door into each new day.
You don’t lead me around in circles,
Or lead about in confusion.
I trust in Your wisdom-
In Your path,
In Your plan,
In Your purpose,
In Your place for me today.

I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. John 10:9

Jesus,
My ear is turned toward You.
I am listening.
I love the sound of Your voice.
You call to me because You know me-
I am so thankful that no sheep of Yours
Will ever hear You say,
“You are on your own.”

To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. John 10:3

Jesus,
Thank You that when You counted Your sheep
You knew that I was missing.
Thank You that You knew where I had wandered,
Came after me…and carried me back.
It is so good to be home with You-
In Your fold-where I belong!

If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. Luke 15:4-5 (NLT)

Thank You for assuring me

I am having a rough day-

Without You 
I am defenseless-
But I am well defended,
Because You are my Defender.
When an enemy comes around
I will let You deal with him,
While I take my place
At Your table.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Psalm 23:5

Jesus,
I don’t like the shadows that are cast over me
When I am walking through the valley.
I know why You have told me
To keep my eyes on You-
Seeing You is seeing the light!
Your light gives me the courage
To take the next step.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me. Psalm 23:4

Thank You for the right path.
The right way.

About anything You are doing in my life.

For His name's sake.
