Here’s a prayer inspired by the suggested
scripture readings for the fourth Sunday of Easter. It was written by Rev. Abi.
Prayer
(inspired by Psalm
23, John 10)
Lord,
We who live in a world of cities, tall
buildings,
one way streets, suburbs, and gated
communities
don’t necessarily know what sheep are like
or what shepherding entails.
Sometimes we do feel like sheep in our world
being herded by the dos and don’ts,
oughts and ought naughts, media,
voices we don’t even recognize.
Sometimes the din of the voices gets so loud
we can’t even recognize our own voice.
Calm and quieten our hearts, our minds and
our souls
to that one small voice; yours.
And in hearing your voice we hear our own
voices
that we sing your song of grace to one
another. Amen.
