Yesterday I went down to the Tent City. I distributed life saving naloxone kits and clean needles to the homeless native population. I saw beautiful people down there. People with hopes and dreams, just like me. I saw people interact with love in their hearts, just like me. I saw my prodigal in the eyes of every one of those people. Lost souls who just want someone to love them.
God never sleeps. He is always watching over us. And his heart grieves when one of his children goes astray. Just like a shepherd who won't rest if one of his sheep has gone missing, so our Lord won't relent until his child is back in his arms.
He is looking for them now my friends. He is searching for his lost sheep to bring them home. And as he calls out their names, he is waiting for them to respond and say "Yes Lord."
August 18, 2018 Our Prayer for our Loved One Today:
Ezekiel 34:11-13 NIV
[11] “ ‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. [12] As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered on a day of clouds and darkness. [13] I will bring them out from the nations...and I will bring them into their own land.
Father God, we come before you today in pain. Broken. At the end of our own understanding. But thankful because we know we can completely trust your word. Lord, we hold on to the belief that the promises of scripture will come to pass. Thank you that you promise to search for (our loved one) and look after (him/her). Lord, just as a shepherd leaves his scattered flock to find the one, we ask that you will chase after (our loved one) and that you will rescue (him/her) from the place where (he/she) is at today, a place of clouds and darkness. We as that you bring (our loved one) out of that foreign place (he/she) is living in and deliver (him/her) back to (his/her) home to (his/her) family. Lord we know that nothing is impossible with you and we ask that this deliverance comes today. Lord we pray this in your son's Holy Name! Amen!
