THE SHEPHERD
HIS ROD and HIS STAFF

From Ann Spangler's study this week:

Spend time today thanking the Good Shepherd for watching over and protecting you. Then ask him to show you any thought patterns that are at work to lead you away from him. As you pray, you may discover habitual thoughts — anxious, greedy, lustful, complaining, or envious thoughts — that tend to dominate your mind. Bring whatever you find before the Good Shepherd in prayer, telling him that you no longer want these patterns to dominate your mind and heart. Then imagine him as the living gate, standing guard over your mind, protecting you from anything or anyone who wants to enter without his permission. Ask for the grace to listen for his voice so that you may lie down in peace, confident of his watchful, loving care. ~ Ann Spangler
