Lesson Prayer

Shepherding God, you are the source of all comfort and life. We thank you for never leaving us and always guiding us in your right paths. Your mercy is too wonderful for us who tend to wander away and get lost or run into danger. Remind us always of the joy you grant in your holy presence and the comfort you give us each day. In Jesus’ holy name we pray. Amen.
