My prayer this morning….
Be thou a bright flame before me,
Be thou a guiding star above me,
Be thou a smooth path below me,
Be thou a kindly shepherd behind me,
Today ”“ tonight ”“ and forever.(a prayer of Saint Columbia, an Irish monk and missionary)
“Like a shepherd he tends his flock; he gathers up the lambs with his arm; he carries them close to his heart; he leads the ewes along.” (Isaiah 40:11 NET).
Today I am linked with these lovely blogs….. Sunday Stillness and Still Saturday and Spiritual Sundays and The Sunday Community and Scripture and a Snapshot .
Joining you in that prayer! The peace of God be with you.
And you as well !
How beautiful! I have loved some of the Irish words. (Maybe because I am part Irish, but most likely due to their beauty.)
May we know Him as Shepherd as we walk this path as His sheep.

Grateful that the words to this prayer spoke to you. Have a great week!
I love to see Jesus as the head shepherd. I feel so protected and comforted by this. Makes me want to reread Hinds Feet too! Have a blessed Sunday!
I love Hinds Feet too! So glad you reminded me of this book. May dig it out this week! Thanks for stopping here!
The sheep and the Shepherd verses and imagery are some of my favorites. Love this prayer! Thanks for sharing!
They always bring a sense of peace & security & safety. Glad you were here!
Loving the prayer, and the image. We are kept by a Shepherd with infinite love. What a blessing!
May we be like the sheep & stay close. Thanks for coming by! Have a great week!
Such a pretty picture – and such a comfort to know we have a kindly Shepherd to comfort and lead us.
What a beautiful prayer…thanks for sharing it!
