I live on high, in holiness,
and also with the crushed
and the lowly,
reviving the spirit of the lowly,
reviving the heart of those who have been crushed.
MARK 6:34 (MSG)
When Jesus arrived, he saw this huge crowd. At the sight of them, his heart broke—like sheep with no shepherd they were. He went right to work teaching them.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
God is full of compassion for the crushed and disoriented.
PRAYER
Good Shepherd God, thank you for seeing how needy I am. Thank you for reaching out -- for sending Christ into the world to shepherd us. I confess that in spite of your care I let things get to me. There is so much discouragement in the world and I focus on it rather than on you and your compassionate protection. Open my eyes. Revive my heart. Lift my spirit. I'm going to move forward under your watchful eye. Amen.
