Prayer

Good Shepherd, thank you for leading me closer to your loving, sheltering presence. You see to my every need. I don't deserve such care, but I gratefully receive it. Forgive my worry and grow my trust in your unending care and provision. Make me aware of how I can shepherd others toward you and for you. Amen.
