LOST LITTLE LAMB

Philippa Hays

Updated: Apr 25, 2020



What happens Lord when the world breaks us on the inside?

When our emotional and spiritual strength and hopes evaporates under the heat of stress, pain, disappointment and grief?


I feel like a lost little lamb Lord.


I have not sought to remove myself from you, but I feel so at sea, so unsure of where you are.

I cannot see how you can redeem all that has transpired and I am unable to see your goodness and feel your presence.


The world has battled against me so and I have fought hard - but Lord, what happens when all my fight is gone?


I just want to rest but cannot.

I feel like I am running to stand still.

I am not doing well, and like a lost little lamb, I cry out to you.


Even in this dark place, I am reminded of these things:

your love never fails;

your mercies are new every morning;

you never change;

you are the good shepherd who seeks and saves the lost.


I am lost Lord Jesus.

Can you seek me out and save me?

Help me to know once again the joy of your salvation.

What happens when the world breaks us on the inside?


I have a choice.


I can get bitter about the injustice, the heartache, the pain.

I can wrestle, strive and seek my own justice.

I can turn my back in anger toward you Lord as why did you let this all happen??


OR


I can quiet my soul.

I can remember all I have known, all I have experienced.

I can turst in you Lord in who I know you to be.

I can rest, I can wait for my salvation.

For you will save me from this dark, stressful place.


Lead this little lost lamb back to your temple of joy dear Lord.

Let me allow you to carry me home, to rest in your love, to receive and listen to the song of delight you sing over my life.

Help me remember the tune.

Help me sing it with you as right now all I can do is cry.


I choose your way Lord Jesus my shepherd.

It feels like I am walking through the valley of the shadow of death - but remind me that you do have a banquet of joy waiting for me even here.


Save me Jesus - your lost little lamb waits for you.

I wait to hear your voice.

I wait to feel your gentle strength as you hold me close to your heart and carry me home.

For who else have I in heaven and earth but you?


For you are the good shepherd

You know where I am, even if I do not

You will find me and save me.


Amen
