The Lord will guard us, as a shepherd guards his flock. Jeremiah 31:10

Many times Lord, we fall from your grace. Yet like a shepherd guards his flock, so you guard us and come after those who are lost. When you seek us out may we be ready with open arms to be embraced by your loving care for us. May we know of your unconditional love for us and live as sheep always ready to hear the voice of the shepherd. 

Amen.
