Shepherd

Father,
Grant today that I may both guard the flock and protect the individual sheep you have placed under my care.

Give me wisdom and discernment to know the condition of every lamb.
I would be the good shepherd today:

You have provided for my needs (even when I did not know what they were)
You have made me lie down (sometimes when I did not want to)
You have led me beside still water (you knew my fears)
You have restored my soul(you gave me individual attention)
You have led me in the paths of righteousness for Your names sake (you knew the dangers when I didn't and guarded your own name as Shepherd)
You have anointed my head with oil (you have tended my personal wounds.)
