he keeps me alive.

Practically speaking, how does having a top-rated "guardian of your life" affect the way you live your life?
PRAYER
Great shepherd, thank you for giving me life and for protecting it. I admit that I allow the fearful things in life to lead me astray. Today, on Epiphany we celebrate how you led magi to the baby Jesus. Lead me, too, along your established pathway. Stay close so that when I start to stray you can pull me back to safety. I'm resting in the fact that you are my great shepherd. Amen.
THE LORD’S PRAYER (ABP)
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
