Lord we believe you when you say you will lead us. But we have suffered at the hands of those who would destroy and scatter your sheep. You promised that you would raise up shepherds who will gather us together so that no one will have to live in fear. So we look for those shepherds, Lord.
We ask for and pray blessings on those who will do good and do right, for those who will protect the children, who will school the children, who will give the children hope.
We ask for and pray blessings on those shepherds who will pursue peace, who will walk humbly, who will reconcile nations.
We ask for and pray blessings on shepherds who will fight injustice, who stand on the side of justice.
We ask for and pray blessings on shepherds who will feed the hungry, clothe the naked, and set at liberty the captives.
We ask for and pray blessings on shepherds who will spread love, show mercy, and practice hospitality.
Lord We ask for and pray blessings on our shepherds, We ask for and pray blessings on our people, We ask for and pray blessings on our country, We ask for and pray blessings on the nations. Amen.
