Lord, open my ears to hear your voice. You have said that Your sheep hear Your voice and follow You; instruct me gentle Shepherd. Guide me daily in all my ways. Lead me in Your righteousness. Keep me from wandering foolishly away from Your presence – the place where there is safety for my life and peace for my soul. O Lord, You are my salvation.

Me in You, You in me. Though I am unworthy You have chosen me as the object of Your love. Lord, I pray that through this imperfect vessel Your perfect glory will shine through for others to see and come to You.

Blessed be the name of the Lord!
