Jesus,

Thank You for being here.

When I flee from strangers,

I flee to You.

You welcome me.

You receive me.

You are my secure place.

In Your presence

I am always home.

Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers. John 10:5

Jesus,
You are a speaking Shepherd.
I love the sound of Your voice.
I love Your words.
I love Your tone.
I love the things I hear
That come from Your heart.
I am listening.
I am ready to follow.

And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. John 10:4

Jesus,
I love Your presence.
You are the door into each new day.
You don’t lead me around in circles,
Or lead about in confusion.
I trust in Your wisdom-
In Your path,
In Your plan,
In Your purpose,
In Your place for me today.

I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. John 10:9

Jesus,
Thank You for Your sheepfold.
It is a place of protection,
And a safe place for me.
Thank You for entering 
By the door of the sheepfold-
You never sneak up on me-
You will never cause me to be fearful,
And I know You will never do me any harm.

Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. John 10:2

Jesus,
My ear is turned toward You.
I am listening.
I love the sound of Your voice.
You call to me because You know me-
I am so thankful that no sheep of Yours
Will ever hear You say,
“You are on your own.”

To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. John 10:3

Jesus,
Thank You that when You counted Your sheep
You knew that I was missing.
Thank You that You knew where I had wandered,
Came after me…and carried me back.
It is so good to be home with You-
In Your fold-where I belong!

If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them gets lost, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others in the wilderness and go to search for the one that is lost until he finds it? And when he has found it, he will joyfully carry it home on his shoulders. Luke 15:4-5 (NLT)

Jesus,
It’s been said that sheep are dumb-
But I’m smart enough to know
That without You
I would never make it through the day!
Thank You for being with me…forever!

I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever. Psalm 23:6

Jesus,
Thank You for assuring me
That as Your sheep I don’t need a plan-
I only need You as my Shepherd.
Thank You for leading me on the good path
That is paved with Your mercy and lovingkindness.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life. Psalm 23:6

Jesus,
Being with You
Helps me to understand
What it means to be content.
You’ve never put me on rations!
The good things that come from You
Aren’t just within me,
They are full and running over.

My cup runs over. Psalm 23:5

Jesus,
I am having a rough day-
(Even backed into a thorn bush)-
I know that You know all about it!
Come with Your healing oil-
Anoint me.
Soothe my pain.
Place Your hand upon my head.

You anoint my head with oil. Psalm 23:5

Jesus,
Without You 
I am defenseless-
But I am well defended,
Because You are my Defender.
When an enemy comes around
I will let You deal with him,
While I take my place
At Your table.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. Psalm 23:5

Jesus,
I don’t like the shadows that are cast over me
When I am walking through the valley.
I know why You have told me
To keep my eyes on You-
Seeing You is seeing the light!
Your light gives me the courage
To take the next step.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me. Psalm 23:4

Jesus,
Thank You for feeding me.
I’ve never
Followed You anywhere
And ended up eating sand…
Even if I were in a desert place,
I know I would find Your stream,
And it would bring me to green pastures.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures. Psalm 23:2

Jesus,
It’s a new day.
I don’t know what all my needs will be.
But you do!
I am confident that at day’s end,
I will look back and say,
“Nothing I needed was missing!”

I shall not want. Psalm 23:1

Hello Friends!

Welcome to Roy Lessin's blog, Meeting in the Meadow. I'm Marina Bromley, Roy's Assistant and Photographer in this ministry.

For the past year we have been diligently building a reference to this blog on Facebook. You can view our history here. We are hoping to create a new space for you here, starting with the series we began earlier this summer, Prayers Sheep Pray. There is more content on the Facebook page that we will not move here (much of it is time sensitive, and no longer applicable). Please bear with us as we schedule the posts in this series to catch up with where we are today.

We hope that you'll subscribe to receive these in your email inbox, and that you'll participate in commenting and encouraging each other on this blog! 

Grace and peace to you,

Marina, for Roy and the Meeting in the Meadow Team

Jesus,
Your name is Lord.
You are in control…
When I try to be,
Things can quickly unravel.
Thank You for the security that comes
When I take things out of my hands
And place them into Yours.
You run things so well!

The LORD is my shepherd. Ps. 23:1
