The Good Shepherd

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, He leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. (Psalm 23:1-3) -- Day 4, 30 Days of Prayer

Soon after I had asked Jesus to be the Lord of my life I was terrified that He would send me to Africa!! I have learned much since then about God always equipping us for what He has called us to do.

So, today I was especially moved as one of our guests shared that she didn’t meet the Lord until she was forty and her husband a year later. Within three years they were at seminary and have been serving in China for five years now. She said, “When we first read the Bible, it said 'go'.” And so they took 'go' literally and they went! Oh, that I had that kind of obedience.

Today , Sandi continued in Exodus 9:16, “…that I might show you My power”. And that power is available to us through prayer. She shared a different acronym to enhance our prayer life:


P – Praise
R – Repent
A – Ask
Y – Yield







Our prayer is that each time Your Word is sung, prayed or taught at the retreats, that it truly penetrate each of our souls, joints, marrow, judging our every thought and attitude, bringing glory and pleasure to You. In Jesus' name, Amen. --Day 7


I think we’re all eager to try to new ways to commune with our Father. Until tomorrow…
