Morning Prayer 

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber.

Inspiration 

A sheep pen typically has one door, which allows the shepherd and gatekeeper complete control over who may go in and out. Those who jump over the fence do not have permission and are considered thieves or robbers who intend to harm the flock. Jesus stands guard to prevent false prophets from jumping into our lives. He is on constant watch and lays His life down to defend the entrance. We are oblivious to danger lurking beyond our pen because our faith rests in the love of our Lord and Savior.

Prayer 

Dear Lord, You consistently protect our hearts from dangers we do not understand. We love You and remain faithful to You always and forever. In Jesus' name, Amen.
