know your sheep and call us each by name.
In a world where trust has been broken and your people have been wounded, draw near to us with your gentle voice.
Lead us away from fear and harm, and into the safety of your care. Restore what has been lost, heal what has been hurt, and gather us again into one flock under your grace.
Teach us to recognise your voice above all others, to follow where you lead, and to rest in the promise that no one can snatch us from your hand.
For you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
