Shepherd Your Sheep, Jn 21:16 -- Lord Jesus, thank You that not only do Your Sheep hear Your voice, You lead them out, and we don't listen to others, John 10:3-4, but only head Your voice and follow You, John 10:27, but that You care for us, Ps 23:3 Isa 40:11, Ezek 34:15, Rev 7:17. Take care of us, defend us, comfort and feed us on knowledge, Give Your angels charge over us and our fellow believers in spiritual battles, Ps 91:10-11, Heb 1:14. Strengthen our brothers and sisters, even shepherd the entire flock of God among us, 1 Pet 5:2, help us be on guard for ourselves and the flock of God among us from evil and warped wolves, Acts 20:28-29, by studying, obeying and teaching obedience to all Jesus commanded, Matt 28:20. Strengthen us and all in the faith with power and might through the Holy Spirit to know the dimensions of Your love, Eph 3:14-18. Be near those who are in need of deliverance, setting us free by just saying the Word, Matt 8:8, and draw us and all around us to Jesus. Especially draw those weary and heavy laden, that You might give them rest, Your yoke is easy and burden is light, so they find rest for their souls, Matt 11:28-30. Work everything out for the furtherance of the gospel, Phil 1:12.

Grant relief to the persecuted church like You did when the evil king began by laying hands on some who belonged to the church in order to mistreat them, had James the brother of John put to death with the sword like in Acts 12:1-2, and give us testimonies like we have of Peter's freedom from prison in Acts 12:3-17 and Paul and Silas in Acts 16:27-32. Hebrews 10:34. Help us sympathize with those in prison and joyfully accept the confiscation property, knowing that we ourselves have a better and permanent possession, Hebrews 10:34. Call and grant boldness give them visits, as Jesus said in Matthew 25:36, 'I was naked and you clothed Me, I was sick and you looked after Me, I was in prison and you visited Me.’

Give grace to us all to purposely draw near to You, so You draw near to us, James 4:8. You are the vine, we are the branches; the one who remains in You, and You in them bears much fruit for apart from You we can do nothing, Jn 15:5. We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us, Phil 4:13. Help us keep You holy in our hearts so as to be ready in season and out of season (at any time in any circumstance) to give an answer for the hope within us, with respect, so ungodliness glorifies God that it had a good witness before You returned, 1 Pet 3:15-16. Deliver us from evil people and the evil one, temptation and sin. 2 Thes 3:2-3, Matt 6:13, Luke 11:4, John 17:15. Let love abound more in knowledge and discernment so we can choose the best in every situation that gives us a choice, so we may be sincere and blameless until Your Son's return, being filled with the fruit of righteousness, which comes from union with Jesus Christ to the glory and praise of God, Phil 1:9-11. Thank You in Jesus' Name.

Father, we thank You for the promise in Micah 5:4 that our Shepherd will stand and feed His flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord His God.

As John 10:16 declares, there are other sheep not of this fold, and we pray You would bring them in, that there may be one flock and one Shepherd.

Lord, we ask for miraculous deliverance for our brothers and sisters, just as You freed Peter from prison in Acts 12 and Paul and Silas in Acts 16. Let the chains fall, let the prison doors open, and let Your glory be revealed in their testimonies. For those who remain in captivity, grant them supernatural peace, boldness, and the assurance that their suffering is not in vain. May their endurance produce a harvest of righteousness and glory for Your name (Hebrews 10:34).

We also lift up those who are weary and heavy-laden, inviting them to come to You, Jesus, for rest (Matthew 11:28-30).

Guard our hearts from the schemes of the evil one, and deliver us from temptation and sin (Matthew 6:13). May our love abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that we may discern what is best and be pure and blameless until the day of Christ (Philippians 1:9-11).

Lord, we ask for boldness to visit, encourage, and support those in prison, remembering Your words in Matthew 25:36: “I was in prison and you came to Me.” Let us not turn a blind eye to the suffering of our brothers and sisters but move in compassion and action. Raise up intercessors, send provision, and let Your light shine in the darkest places. We declare that the gates of hell shall not prevail against Your church (Matthew 16:18), and we stand firm in the armor of God, ready for spiritual battle (Ephesians 6:10-18).

Finally, Lord, we thank You for the promise that You will wipe away every tear from our eyes, and there will be no more death, mourning, crying, or pain (Revelation 21:4). Until that day, we trust in You, our Shepherd, who leads us beside still waters and restores our souls (Psalm 23:2-3). In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
