Prayer card illustrated with photo of sheep: Thank you, dear Jesus, for being a good shepherd to all believers. When we are lost from your flock, you never sleep until you bring us back, and there is rejoicing in heaven and on earth. Our daily shepherd, our defender, our protector, thank you for keeping us from all evil, from fearful, harmful things and for preserving us from all unbelief. In your name we pray. AMEN.
