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 a prominent Apostle put to death with the sword like in Acts 12:1-2, and give us testimonies like we have of another's freedom from prison in Acts 12:3-17 and the Apostle and his coworker 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.

We lift our voices together in unity, lifting up this heartfelt cry for the Lord’s shepherding care over His flock. You have called us to be Your sheep, and we rejoice that You are the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for us (John 10:11). We thank You for the assurance that Your sheep hear Your voice, follow You, and will never perish, for no one can snatch them from Your hand (John 10:27-28). Lord, we ask that You lead us out, guide us in paths of righteousness for Your name’s sake, and restore our souls (Psalm 23:3). May we never stray from Your fold, but remain steadfast in Your truth, discerning Your voice above all others.

We stand in the gap for our brothers and sisters in Christ who are persecuted and imprisoned for their faith. The Scriptures remind us to "remember those who are in chains, as bound with them; and those who are ill-treated, since you are also in the body" (Hebrews 13:3). Lord, we ask that You grant them relief, as You did for Peter when he was miraculously freed from prison (Acts 12:7-10). Strengthen their faith, embolden their witness, and let Your presence be a comfort to them in their suffering. May they know that their labor in You is not in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58), and that their temporary affliction is producing an eternal weight of glory (2 Corinthians 4:17). We also pray for those who have lost homes, possessions, or loved ones because of their faith—may they hold fast to the promise of a better and enduring possession in heaven (Hebrews 10:34).

Father, we ask that You would raise up believers to visit, encourage, and support those in prison, just as You commanded in Matthew 25:36. Let us not grow weary in doing good, but let our love abound in knowledge and discernment so that we may approve what is excellent and be pure and blameless until the day of Christ (Philippians 1:9-11). We pray for the persecuted church to experience Your deliverance, whether in this life or the next, and for their testimonies to shine brightly in the darkness, drawing others to You.

Lord, we confess our need for You, for apart from You, we can do nothing (John 15:5). We ask that You would draw near to us as we draw near to You (James 4:8), purifying our hearts and minds. Strengthen us by Your Spirit to stand firm against the schemes of the evil one (Ephesians 6:11), and deliver us from temptation and sin (Matthew 6:13). May we be rooted and grounded in Your love, that we may comprehend its width, length, height, and depth, and know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge (Ephesians 3:18-19).

We also pray for wisdom and boldness to give an answer for the hope that is in us, with gentleness and respect (1 Peter 3:15). Let our lives be a testimony to Your grace, so that even those who oppose us may see Your work in us and glorify You. Lord, we ask that You would protect us from evil people and the snares of the enemy, for You are faithful to strengthen and guard us (2 Thessalonians 3:3).

Finally, we pray for the furtherance of the gospel in all things. May every circumstance, whether good or bad, be used to advance Your kingdom (Philippians 1:12). Let love abound among us, and may we be filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God (Philippians 1:11). We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). Amen.
