1 Peter 2:25
“For 'you were like sheep going astray,' but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.”
Understanding this passage
Going astray is named honestly, and so is returning. The Shepherd is the destination, not a lecture.
Why this verse helps
Feeling far from God is the 'astray' part. This verse shows the next move: return to the One who oversees your soul.
A prayer for you
Shepherd, I have gone astray. I return to You. Watch over my soul. Amen.
