Shared Prayer

Holy Father, who hears and answers prayers You have spoken as the Shepherd of Your people, You feed Your flock and You cause them to lie down in safety. For weary believers carrying heavy responsibility, for the caregiver who cannot rest, for the soul worn down by fear and constant pressure, let Your shepherd care be felt and obeyed. Quiet our hearts, silence accusing thoughts, and lead us out of striving into trust. By the power of the Word, let our minds submit to Your voice above every worry. Let strength return to tired bodies and faith rise again where hope feels small. All power belongeth unto God, so we refuse to believe that our weakness has the final say. Thank You for sustaining us, for providing what we lack, and for keeping us under Your watchful care. In the name of Jesus. Amen.
