The prayer
A prayer to pray now
Father, You are the good shepherd. You know me, and I know You. That knowing is not far off or fuzzy. You know my voice, the way a shepherd in the East knew his own flock from a hundred others. I know Your voice too, after years of reading the Gospels, praying through the Psalms, and listening in church. The older I get, the more clearly I hear You. I read a verse and recognize the voice that has been speaking to me my whole life. Speak this morning. Let me recognize You. Let me follow. The noise of the radio, the news, and the busy world has nothing on Your voice for someone who has been listening a long time. Lead me out today to the small pasture You have arranged. The grass will be enough. The water will be enough. You are enough. I am known, and I know You. Amen.
