This Is My Prayer

Sandee Macgregor / November 1, 2023

 
 
 
 
If you could pick a word or a song for a season ahead, what would it be?
 
 
Sometimes, I select a word for a season, to show me the way as the months unfold. This time, it was a phrase. This past summer was truly a time when I just had to lay everything at His feet and let Him show me the way, and I look back with gratitude now.
He has in his way shown me so many things that I had to be patient for (and still continue to be patient for), but I know He hears me and He answers my prayers. Maybe not always in the way that I want, but isn’t that true for all of us? It’s how we end up walking down paths that we never would have chosen for ourselves, yet they become so much more beautiful than whatever we could have imagined on our own. I still want him to show me the way, even if it doesn’t look like what I had envisioned!
 
Sometimes, I select various songs that I listen to on repeat. The lyrics remain with me and linger in my mind and when I am feeling low and alone, it is when the song comes to mind. I have found for a very, very long time I memorize best through music. I have also seen that in our kids. Songs, that are both good and not so good (if you know what I mean) so finding the right song and lyrics may take time, but it is worth it. My professor at Heritage College and Seminary reminded us often to memorize hymns or quotes for the sole purpose of when you are in the most difficult trial, you only have to rest in your memory and bring to the surface the goodness of God. For that I am grateful. This is my prayer today:
 
 

This is my prayer

You are my Shepherd
You do lead my paths
You go before me to create a steady place for my feet
I should not want but I still do
I want for so many things
I want so many things for my family a spiritual want
physical want
mental want
emotional want

You say you are my Shepherd What does that do?
It moves me in a path of truth

A place of trusting my Shepherd acknowledging you as the Lord of my life.

A few months back I saw Leanna open for Casting Crowns and We Are Messengers and I am hooked! Her lyrics and melody are just amazing, Enjoy and be blessed!
