“My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” ‭‭John‬ ‭10:27‬ ‭(NASB‬‬)

Heavenly Father, You are the Shepherd of my soul. Thank you Father, for bringing me into Your flock. Thank You for watching over me, guiding me, and taking care of all my needs. Thank You for being my protector against the wolves of this world.

Help me to hear Your voice amidst the noise and chaos of this world. Forgive me when I am led astray by my own thoughts and desires. Forgive me when I’m deceived by the enemy and am lured in his direction. Please remove all the distractions that keep me from hearing You clearly Lord. Give me strength to overcome my my own will, so that I can be free to do Yours.

As I enter into this new week Lord, help me to walk close with You, to seek You, and to hear Your voice. Speak Your truth and wisdom into my heart. Fill my cup so that it overflows with peace and joy. In Jesus’ name, amen.
