- 0:04Speaker 2: and as always, I invite you to join along with

- 0:26Speaker 2: found in your word, that you let us rest in
- 0:28Speaker 2: the green metals, and you lead us beside the peaceful streams.
- 0:32Speaker 2: In a world that moves fast, where stress, worry, and
- 0:35Speaker 2: responsibilities constantly pull at us. We thank you for being
- 0:39Speaker 2: the shepherd who invites our weary souls to rest.
- 0:43Speaker 1: Lord. So many of us are tired.
- 0:46Speaker 2: Some are tired of carrying heavy responsibilities. Some are tired
- 0:50Speaker 2: of fighting battles no one else can see. Some are
- 0:53Speaker 2: tired of grief, disappointment is seasons that have stretched longer
- 0:57Speaker 2: than they expected. Some are simply tired from trying to
- 1:01Speaker 2: hold everything together. But Father, today we hear your gentle
- 1:04Speaker 2: voice calling us to lie down in green pastures. You
- 1:08Speaker 2: invite us to lay down our burdens and anxieties, our fears,
- 1:13Speaker 2: and the pressure we place on ourselves. You remind us
- 1:16Speaker 2: that we were never meant to carry life alone. You
- 1:19Speaker 2: are the shepherd who guides us, protects us, and restores
- 1:23Speaker 2: our souls. Lord, lead us beside peaceful streams, calm the storms.
- 1:28Speaker 2: God in our minds, quiet the noise of worry and
- 1:32Speaker 2: stress and even overthinking where anxiety has been running wild
- 1:36Speaker 2: in our hearts. Let your peace flow like a gentle stream. Father,
- 1:40Speaker 2: teach us to rest in. You help us to slow
- 1:44Speaker 2: down and trust that you are in control. When we
- 1:47Speaker 2: feel overwhelmed by everything happening around us, remind us that
- 1:52Speaker 2: your presence is our refuge. When our hearts feel restless,
- 1:56Speaker 2: settle us in the stillness of your love.
- 1:59Speaker 1: Lord, restore Restore.
- 2:01Speaker 2: Joy where exhaustion has taken over. Restore hope where discouragement
- 2:05Speaker 2: has settled in.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Restore strength where we feel drained and empty.
- 2:09Speaker 2: Just like a shepherd, carefully, God's hit sheep to safe
- 2:13Speaker 2: places to rest and drink. Guide our stuffs today. God,
- 2:17Speaker 2: lead us away from the things that drain us and
- 2:19Speaker 2: towards the places that nourish our spirits. Help us God
- 2:24Speaker 2: to trust your leadership even when we cannot see the
- 2:27Speaker 2: entire path ahead. Remind us that wherever you lead, there
- 2:31Speaker 2: will always be provision, there will always be protection, there
- 2:35Speaker 2: will always be peace.
- 2:37Speaker 1: So, Father, thank you for being a shepherd who.

- 2:43Speaker 2: always knows exactly what our souls mean. So today God,
