Opening Song: Shepherd of My Soul (https://open.spotify.com/track/5JNhtYiyGpQQ6pDFtfpLLz?si=f06f70e6b33c44f0) by Jonathan Ogden, Kelani Koyejo, and Nathan Stirling Lyrics: Lord of the mountains and sea You are treading a path set for me God of the seasons and sky You have always been holding my life Lord You are the shepherd of my soul So I lay down my plans I give up my rights And let You take control of this surrendered life You comfort You sustain In shaking You remain Unmoved and unafraid Forever and always You lead me by still waters Lead me through the valleys Lead me in Your wisdom Shepherd of my soul Through valleys of shadow and death I am not afraid By my Father's breath every star in the sky was made And who can I fear when You're standing right Here by my side Always leading protecting and guarding my left and My right Father You make all things new Great God of creation Father You will always be my rock and salvation Passage: 1 Then Job answered the Lord and said: 2 “I know that you can do all things, and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted. 3 ‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?’ Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. 4 ‘Hear, and I will speak; I will question you, and you make it known to me.’ 5 I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you; 6 therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” (Job 42:1-6 ESV) Musical Reflection: Harp meditation No. 1 by Gretchen Kirby Reflection Notes: A repetitive pattern in the left hand provides a meditative foundation while the right hand experiments with ascending lines. The tune is meant to be joyful and evoke delight. Prayer: This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
