SHEPHERDS: The Lord places shepherds to care for you - Jeremiah 23:4

I will put shepherds over them. Those shepherds will take care of them. My sheep will no longer be afraid or terrified, and not one of them will be missing," declares the LORD. Jeremiah 23:4

Gospel Truth: "Be shepherds of God’s flock that is among you, watching over them not out of compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not out of greed, but out of eagerness; not lording it over those entrusted to you, but being examples to the flock. And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of glory that will never fade away." 1 Peter 5:2-4

Quote: "The only safe place for a sheep is by the side of their Shepherd, because the devil does not fear sheep; he just fears the Shepherd." A. W. Tozer


Praise & Prayer
I praise You, Lord Jesus, for being my Shepherd. There is nothing I lack with You. Thank You for taking me to green pastures where my soul is supplied with rest. Thank You for leading me beside quiet waters where my strength is renewed. You lead me along the right paths for Your name’s sake. Even when I go through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no danger, for You are with me. Your rod of power and Your staff of protection bring me comfort. Holy Spirit, please teach me to be a compassionate shepherd like Jesus to my family and God's people. Please guide someone across my path today who is devoured by the devil and needs spiritual, physical, or emotional care. I pray for their deliverance in the mighty name of my Chief Shepherd, Jesus Christ.

WONDERS: Ask the LORD to perform wonders - Jeremiah 21:2

The word came to Jeremiah from the LORD when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur son of Malkijah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah. They said: “Inquire now of the Lord for us because Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is attacking us. Perhaps the LORD will perform wonders for us as in times past so that he will withdraw from us.” Jeremiah 21:1-2

Eternal Truth: "O Lord GOD, You have begun to show Your greatness and power to Your servant. For what god in heaven or on earth can perform such works and mighty acts as Yours?" Deuteronomy 3:24; "But Jesus replied, “The things that are impossible with people are possible with God.” Luke 18:27

Worship & Prayer
Nothing is impossible for God. Who among the gods is like You, O LORD? Who is like You, majestic in holiness, revered with praises, and performing wonders for those who love You? I bow to worship Your greatness and praise You for Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Lord Jesus, I pray for family members and fellow Christians who are dealing with serious health issues. Send Your living Word into their hearts, and please perform wonders as You have in times past for those who come to You for mercy, healing, and salvation. I pray for victory over demonic attacks in Your mighty name. Hosanna!

LORD: The LORD is with you - Jeremiah 20:11

But the LORD is with me like a fearsome warrior. Therefore, my persecutors will stumble and will not prevail. Since they have not succeeded, they will be utterly put to shame, with an everlasting disgrace that will never be forgotten. Jeremiah 20:11

Eternal Truth: "Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel” (which means, “God with us”)." Matthew 1:23; "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations [help the people to learn of Me, believe in Me, and obey My words], baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you; and lo, I Am with you always [remaining with you perpetually—regardless of circumstance, and on every occasion], even to the end of the age.” Matthew 28:19-20

Prayer & Praise
Your presence in my life, Immanuel, dispels all fear from my heart and fills my soul with living hope. As Jeremiah, I rely upon Your promise to be with me as a fearless warrior who fights my battles and will never abandon me. Holy Spirit, please strengthen me for what lies ahead this day and help me to remain steadfast in my faith by remembering that Christ the LORD is with me until the end of my days here on earth. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus, my Savior.

SHAPED: The Potter is shaping you for His glory - Jeremiah 18:4

This is the message that came to Jeremiah from the Lord: “Jeremiah, go down to the potter’s house. I will give you my message there.” So I went down to the potter’s house and saw him working with clay at the wheel. He was making a pot from clay. But there was something wrong with the pot. So the potter used that clay to make another pot. With his hands he shaped the pot the way he wanted it to be. Jeremiah 18:1-4

Infallible Truth: "But now, O LORD, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the Potter; we are all the work of Your hand." Isaiah 64:9; "We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves. Now we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this surpassingly great power is from God and not from us." 2 Corinthians 4:3,7; "Anyone who belongs to Christ is a new person. The past is forgotten, and everything is new." 2 Corinthians 5:17

Prayer & Praise
Abba Father, I enter Your House and approach Your throne of mercy and grace to say, "I surrender my life into Your hands." Lord Jesus, I praise You for being the Master Potter whom I love and trust. Please continue to shape and mold me into a vessel of honor that radiates Your character of love, mercy, grace, and truth. Remove impurities from my heart and refine the rough edges of my character, so that I may become more like You each day. Holy Spirit, please guide me to someone today whose life is marred by sin and shame. Shine the light of Christ's love into their heart so they believe that Jesus, the Master Potter, longs to shape and remake marred lives of clay into beautiful vessels of honor for God's great treasure. I pray for their salvation and transformation in Jesus' mighty name.

HEALING: Call upon the LORD for healing - Jeremiah 17:14

O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who abandon You will be put to shame. All who turn away will be written in the dust, for they have abandoned the LORD, the fountain of living water. Heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for You are the one I praise. 17:13-14

Prayer & Praise
Never do I want to turn away or abandon You, Lord God. I praise You for Jesus Christ, who forgives all my iniquities and heals all my diseases, who redeems my life from the pit of darkness and crowns me with loving devotion and compassion, who satisfies me with good things, so that my youth is renewed like the eagle’s. I worship and thank You, Lord Jesus, for being my Healer. You bore my sins in Your body on the cross, so that I might die to sin and live for righteousness. “By Your wounds, I am healed.” Please guide me, Holy Spirit, to someone today who is suffering and weighed down by the shame of sin. Stir their heart to trust in JESUS, the fountain of living water, who died on the cross to heal all our diseases and save us from eternal condemnation. I pray for their salvation in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

TREE: Trust in the LORD, and you will be like a fruitful tree - Jeremiah 17:8

Blessed is the person who trusts in the LORD, making the LORD His trust. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8

Gospel Truth: "Remain in Me, and I will remain in you. Just as no branch can bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in Me. I am the vine and you are the branches. The one who remains in Me, and I in him, will bear much fruit. For apart from Me, you can do nothing." John 15:4-5

Worship & Prayer
By trusting in You, Lord Jesus, I am nourished and have deep roots that are strong,  unshakable, and constantly nourished by Your living water. By relying on You, I am not afraid of the heat or worried about the drought that may come, for You are my wonderful Savior. By following You, my heart is filled with living hope that makes my life vibrant and secure. By abiding in You, I thrive and flourish like a fruitful tree that enriches the lives of those around me. I praise Your holy Name and thank You for making my life purposeful. Amen.

SHEPHERDS: The Lord places shepherds to care for you - Jeremiah 23:4

I will put shepherds over them. Those shepherds will take care of them. My sheep will no longer be afraid or terrified, and not one of them ...
