Lord Jesus, our Good Shepherd,
You desire those You have called to hear Your voice and to stay with Your flock.
Many wolves threaten to scatter the flock, but You are no ordinary shepherd who leaves his flock at the sight of the wolves; You handed Yourself over to them and sacrificed Yourself for love of Your flock.
Grant me the grace to always hear and heed Your voice so as to avoid the snare of the wolves that threaten my faith and my life in You.
Bring all those You seek into the safety of Your fold.
It is only through You and by You that we can be saved.
Lead us, our one True Shepherd, safely to our heavenly home.
Amen.

Nice reflection Karinann!
Our priest started his sermon on this telling us that sheep are basically one of the dumbest animals on earth with no means of protection whatsoever ... and thus need constant guidance and protection. Nothing like starting the day with that!
God Bless.
Thanks Michael. I think your pastor got that right~that description of the sheep fits us perfectly. On the upside, they do seem kind of cute and lovable :)
Praying this with you! Beautiful. Hugs and blessings.
Love this, Karin. Thank you! I've heard that sheep are dumb too,
but that they absolutely know their master's voice, and only follow him. So...perhaps they are smarter than us! : )
Thanks for joining me in the prayer, Colleen.
Glad you liked the prayer, Patricia, and yes maybe we could learn something from those sheep :)
