The prayer of a wayward sheep.

Dear Lord Jesus,

I thank you for all the blessings you have given me as you've walked with me throughout my life. You have been so patient with me as I go into the world each day like the foolish sheep that I am. Always deciding what I will do and how I will do it. Always expecting that I will walk in your grace. Always knowing that you will rescue me if I get too far out in the lead.

Lord, please help me to stop leading. Teach me to follow you. I am such a foolish wandering sheep who has no idea where we’re going. Yet I’m always in a hurry to get there and you are always there to pull me back before I fall off the cliff.

Lord, please help me to stop leading. Allow me to serve in this world as you would have me serve. Allow me to walk quietly behind you as you take me through these troubling times. Take control of Lord as I am just a foolish sheep frolicking in the wilderness with no idea of the dangers or the blessings that lie ahead. Lord please be my shepherd.

Thank you Lord. Amen.
 
We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we were perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28)
 
Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
