“If you feel like a lost sheep, you’re exactly the kind of person Jesus is looking for.” This powerful reminder speaks to anyone who feels disconnected, anxious, or unsure of their purpose. In the parable of the lost sheep, we see that every individual matters to God. Just as a shepherd diligently seeks out the one lost sheep, Jesus actively seeks us out when we stray or feel lost. He longs for us to return to Him, to embrace His love and guidance.
When we feel lost, it’s important to remember that we are still cherished and valued. Our feelings of confusion or isolation do not diminish our worth in the eyes of God. He invites us to come as we are, bringing our burdens and uncertainties, and He promises that He will lead us back to safety and peace.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for reminding us that we are never truly lost, for You are always in pursuit of our hearts. Help us to recognize when we feel stray or disconnected, and grant us the courage to seek You in those moments. May we feel Your loving embrace, knowing that we are valued and cherished. Guide us back to the path You have set for us, and provide us with strength and clarity in our journey. In Jesus’ name we pray, Amen.
