A Prayer to the Good Shepherd



Lord Jesus, this world is such a loud and confusing place! 

It is a world so full of spiritual pain and of mortal dangers from evil spirits and devouring beasts, my God and my Redeemer.

In this world, it is easy for a soul like me to to get lost without Your guidance and Your care.

For I am but a sinner, wounded and weak!

Never tire of me I beg thee, my Lord Jesus, but rather instruct me in the way of Thy commandments and teach me the comfort of Thy voice, the safety of Thy rod, and the counsel of Thy staff.

And lead me ever onward, my Good Shepherd, and the One to Whom I truly forever belong.

Lead me onward, from safe pasture to safe pasture, from day to day, and from moment to moment, away from the desolation of this world and far into the tranquil joys of the vision of that bright and everlasting Day.

AMEN.
