Shared Prayer

Dear heavenly Father We praise You for the tender care You show Your people, and we worship You as the Shepherd who never grows weary of us. Your word says that You feed Your flock like a shepherd, that You gather the lambs with Your arm and carry them close, and that You gently lead those who are burdened with young. We believe You still lead Your people that way. Gather the ones who feel lost, forgotten, or too weak to keep walking, and carry those who are worn out by grief and uncertainty. Crown us with your lovingkindness and tender mercies, and teach us to follow Your voice without fear. We trust that our God shall supply all our needs according to his riches in glory, because You have promised to shepherd us and not abandon us. Thank You for Your patience with our wandering, for Your gentleness with our weakness, and for the safety we find under Your hand. Blessed be the name of the Lord, forevermore. Amen.
