Jesus, the Good Shepherd: We pray for other sheep and shepherds- #4
Prayer for Others
Lord, we ask for the
courage and compassion of the Good Shepherd, who lays down his life for his
sheep.
Lord we ask for the
compassion of the good shepherd who leads his sheep to safe pasture. We pray
for those who work to feed and shelter and educate the poor peoples of our
world.
We pray for those skilled
at nursing and healing those who are suffering or ill in body, mind or spirit. We
pray for all those who care especially for those affected by corona virus and
their families, for the victims of our society, those unable to cope with life,
the neglected, the abused.
Lord, we ask for the love
of the Good Shepherd who knows his sheep by name. We pray for our church, for
ministers and office bearers, for its preachers and teachers and all engaged in
pastoral care.
We pray for those we
know, relatives or friends who are facing difficult times. We pray for
ourselves that we might hear the call from our Good Shepherd and follow his way
of love.
We make all our prayers in Jesus’ name. Amen.
