"Then I will appoint responsible shepherds who will care for them, and they will never be afraid again. Not a single one will be lost or missing. I, the LORD, have spoken!" ~Jeremiah 23:4, NLT
God often refers to His people as sheep, as the verses leading up to this one show. Metaphorically, the leaders of the people are shepherds, and in Jeremiah's Israel, they had been pretty poor shepherds. But now, God makes a promise to appoint responsible shepherds, so the sheep don't have to be afraid.
"Not a single one will be lost or missing." Can't find your way? Scared? The LORD has spoken, He promises to find you. Believe it, He is the good shepherd, and when you trust Him - when you trust Jesus, you don't ever have to be afraid again.
