Known by the Shepherd

Personal prayer cycle · Day 16 of 31 · John 10:11–18

Read John 10:11–18 in your Bible, then take a moment to reflect.

Jesus describes a shepherd who knows his sheep and gives himself for them. His care is personal and costly. We are invited to recognize a voice that leads toward truth and life. Following him also teaches us to take responsibility for those entrusted to our care.

Bring it to prayer

Who depends on my steady care?

One act of faith

Give that person patient, undivided attention.
