“If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray. In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost."” (Matthew 18:12-14) 

 Jesus, our Good Shepherd, thank You for seeking each one of us with relentless love. Bless our families with hearts that mirror Yours—never giving up on those who wander. Teach us to rejoice in every soul restored and to cherish Your will that none be lost. Amen.
