TALK: Consider some of these ideas:
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. (Psalm 23:1)
- Today’s psalm is an expression of ultimate trust. We do not know what perils may lie ahead. But we do know our shepherd, who guides and protects us.
- “The Lord is my shepherd.” What other images for God speak to you? (Rock, friend, parent, lifeline, breath) Why?
- Wonder: What does God love about sheep?
- What does God love about you?
- Think of something you have been reluctant to turn over to God. (A relationship, a struggle, control) Make a decision every day this week to let God handle it without your help.
PRAY: Loving God, you see the dangers ahead long before we could imagine them. Keep our eyes trained on the path, following in your trustworthy footsteps, by the grace of your spirit. Amen.
BLESS: May God guide and protect you in all that you do. Amen.
