Jesus said: "My sheep hear my voice; I know them, and they

follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish. No

one can take them out of my hand." — John 10:27–28.

In the light of these words of Jesus, I affirm with confidence

and peace that I belong to Christ, and I am safe in his hands. The

Lord, my Shepherd, knows me deeply and calls me by name. I

recognize his voice in the quiet of my soul and in my daily

activities. I follow the One who leads me beside still waters and

restores my soul.

The hand that upholds me is mighty and faithful. God has

engraved me upon the palms of his hands. He neither slumbers nor forgets. I am cherished,

guarded, and never abandoned. Though I may stumble, I will not fall, for the Lord upholds me

with his strong hand. He gathers me like a lamb in his arms and carries me close to his heart.

Though the world may shift and storms may rage, my place in God’s heart is unshakable. I

listen for the voice of the Good Shepherd and follow him with trust. He leads me in paths of

righteousness for his name’s sake. Even in the valley of shadows, he is with me.

I surrender my fears and doubts to the One who laid down his life for me. Peace befriends me,

in knowing that I am part of his flock—called, chosen, and loved. His voice leads me, his grace

sustains me, and his promise of life is my joy and hope.

I affirm that I am known and loved by Jesus, the Good Shepherd. He calls me by name, and I

follow him with trust and confidence. I am secure in his promise of eternal life, a gift that cannot

be taken away. No power on earth or in heaven can separate me from his love and protection.

I walk today in the assurance that my life is held firmly in the hands of the Father, who is

greater than all. His strength and love surround me, and I am safe in his care. Just as Jesus and

the Father are one, I am united with them in faith and love.

I believe that nothing can separate me from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. Neither

death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,

neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate me from his

love. I trust in the Lord with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding. In all my ways,

I acknowledge him, and he makes my paths straight. I am confident that he who began a good

work in me will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Father, I thank you for your unwavering love and protection. I am grateful that you hold me

securely in your hands. Help me to always hear your voice and follow you faithfully. Strengthen

my trust in your promises and guide me in your ways. May your peace, which surpasses all

understanding, guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus. Amen.
