Personal Prayer
Praise the Lord for being your shepherd (Psalm 23). Give thanks for those refreshing times when you experience “green pastures” and “quiet waters.” Confess any dissatisfaction concerning God’s care for you. Commit yourself to faithfully following the Good Shepherd in every area of your life. Ask God to “strengthen and protect you from the evil one” (2 Thess. 3:3).

For Your Family and Friends
Pray that members of your family would have genuine love and concern for each other. Ask especially that your children will reflect Jesus’ love as they interact with each other.

For the Church
Pray that your congregation might be known as a loving and caring church. Intercede for those who plan special opportunities for fellowship within the body.

For the Kingdom
Pray for agencies and organizations which provide care in the name of Jesus for the elderly, for those with mental or physical handicaps, and for the ill. Ask God to meet their needs.

For People to Know Jesus
Ask the Good Shepherd to touch the lives of those who have not yet put their trust in him. Pray that they may experience his loving and redeeming care.
