The pilgrim journey · Prayer and drawing near
This short song expresses nearness through the relationship of shepherd and sheep: we are willing to listen to the Lord and trust that he knows our cries. John 10 closely connects hearing the Lord’s voice with following him, showing that this relationship includes trust and obedience. Becoming quiet can help us notice the busyness within us and tell the Lord frankly about our worries. Listening also requires returning to Scripture, allowing the word the Lord has already revealed to guide our judgements and actions. At a gathering, read a brief passage after singing, leave time to meditate on its call and then respond with simple prayer, so that stillness gradually bears the fruit of practical obedience.
