Amen. This is one of the most tender and trust-filled prayers we can utter—a surrender to God’s guidance, provision, and protection. It echoes the heart of Psalm 23 and Jesus’ words in John 10:11: “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.”
A Prayer for Our Shepherd
Lord Jesus, our Good Shepherd,
You know Your sheep by name. You lead, You provide, and You protect.
We ask You now: Be our Shepherd.
· Guide us when we cannot see the path.
· Feed us in green pastures of Your Word and presence.
· Restore our souls when we are weary or wounded.
· Lead us beside still waters of Your peace.
· Protect us from the predator and the thief.
· Gather us as one flock under Your voice, that we may know You and follow You alone.
We confess our tendency to wander. Forgive us.
We confess our fear in the valley. Comfort us.
We confess our stubborn self-reliance. Teach us to depend utterly on You.
You are the Shepherd who searches for the lost, carries the weak, and lays down Your life for the sheep.
We are Yours. Lead us, Lord.
In Your faithful name, we pray. Amen.

A Blessing for the Flock
May you walk today with the quiet confidence of a sheep well-kept.
May you hear His voice clearly amid the noise.
May you lack nothing, fear nothing, and want nothing—because the Lord Himself is your Shepherd.
May His rod and His staff comfort you, and may His goodness and mercy follow you all the days of your life.
We are His people, the sheep of His pasture. He is our God. 🐑🙏🕊️
