Prayer for the Day- August 19, 2021


Prayer for the Day - August 19, 2020 image

Once you were like sheep and wandered away…

The scripture for today’s prayer:

For God called you to do good, even if it means suffering, just as Christ suffered[l] for you. He is your example, and you must follow in his steps.

22 He never sinned,
    nor ever deceived anyone.[m]
23 He did not retaliate when he was insulted,
    nor threaten revenge when he suffered.
He left his case in the hands of God,
    who always judges fairly.
24 He personally carried our sins
    in his body on the cross
so that we can be dead to sin
    and live for what is right.
By his wounds
    you are healed.
25 Once you were like sheep
    who wandered away.
But now you have turned to your Shepherd,
    the Guardian of your souls.

1 Peter 2:21-25 New Living Translation (NLT)

Prayer: Father, the steps I am to follow are challenging. But I know that the Lord is my Shepherd and the Guardian of my soul. Amen.
