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.

Father, we ask that You would grant relief to Your persecuted church, just as You moved mightily in Acts 12 and 16. Raise up bold witnesses who will visit the imprisoned, clothe the naked, and care for the sick, remembering that whatever is done for the least of these is done for You. Give us hearts that sympathize with those suffering, that we may joyfully endure the loss of earthly possessions for the sake of the eternal treasure we have in Christ.

We rebuke every spirit of fear, complacency, and division that seeks to scatter Your flock. Guard us against false teachers and deceitful wolves who distort Your Word.

Apart from You, we can do nothing, but through Christ who strengthens us, we can do all things.

Lord, purify our hearts so that we may draw near to You and reflect Your holiness. Equip us to give a reason for the hope we have, with gentleness and respect, even in the face of opposition.

We pray for those who are weary and heavy-laden, that they may find rest in You. Your yoke is easy, and Your burden is light—lead them to the peace that surpasses all understanding. Work all things together for the advancement of the gospel, that Your name may be glorified in every nation.

Thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the Shepherd and Overseer of our souls, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
