And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders.—Luke 15:5 (NIV)
In the parable of the Lost Sheep, the shepherd leaves his flock to find the one that is lost. When you feel alone and distant from God, know that it is never too late to turn to Him.

Jesus, when I have lost sight of where I am and where my life is going, help me find direction. Guide my steps and thoughts. Give me peace.
