Today’s Prayer

Know that the Lord is God.  It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. —Psalm 100:3 (NIV)

Dear God, our heavenly Father, sometimes you seem so distant, so beyond my reach, yet you are there, holding out your hand, waiting for me to take hold so you can place me on solid ground again.  You intricately made me; you know everything about me. You call me by my name and hold me in the palms of your hands.  You know me as a shepherd knows all his sheep.  Father, when I wander, please gather me back into your fold, back to the green pasture where the needs of all your people are met through the grace of Jesus Christ. Amen.
