He tends his flock like a shepherd:

He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart;

He gently leads those who have young.

Isaiah 40:11

Lord,

Thank you for your unfailing love and kindness.

For those who are struggling, may they be held close to your heart;

Let them feel your presence and the warmth of your love.

For those who feel weary and lacking in motivation to just keep going,

may they know your gentle hand leading them,

your ‘well done’, and your strength empowering them.

May your grace fill us to overflowing, smiling through us

radiating your love to anyone we come into contact with.

Thank you Lord,

Amen.
