Opossum Screed: Shepherd of Our Souls

Return, O faithless children,

I will heal your faithlessness.

“Here we come to you;

for you are the Lord our God."

✙ Jeremiah 3:22

I was straying when Christ found me

in the night so dark and cold;

tenderly his arm went round me,

and he bore me to his fold.

Precious hiding place,

in the shelter of his love;

not a doubt or fear,

since my Lord is near,

and I’m sheltered in his love.

With his nail-scarred hand he brought me

to the shelter of his love;

of his grace and will he taught me,

And of heavenly rest above.

Tho’ the night be dark around me,

I am safe, for he is near;

never shall my foes confound me,

while the Savior’s voice I hear.

Precious hiding place,

in the shelter of his love;

not a doubt or fear,

since my Lord is near,

and I’m sheltered in his love.

✙
You were going astray like sheep, but now you have returned to the shepherd and guardian of your souls.

✙ 1 Peter 2:25

Prayer after thinking about today's devotion:

I return to you, O God, in need of mercy and guidance. Forgive my sins and guide me in the way I should go.

After your own thanksgivings & petitions, close with the Lord's Prayer.
