Feed My Sheep

This page has three meditative prayers to focus on Jesus. The goal of this page is to pray for gaining direction and clarity during a time when you are led into Christian Service. Wait for God to respond to your prayer as you discuss what you think and feel. Take your time as you pray and discuss any issues you have. An honest prayer is an opportunity to gain a deeper relationship with the Lord. Jesus will help you learn from your struggles.

This Page also includes two Videos at the bottom of the page that can be used instead of the written Guideline Prayers.

Begin your Prayer by first focusing on God…

Lord God Almighty, sanctify me in You in the name of Christ Jesus. Jesus, You called Peter to care for and teach Your followers (John 21:17). I am willing to follow You and be obedient. I believe You have asked me to feed Your sheep. Please give me clarity, direction, and understanding of how you want me to do this. I trust You to help me do anything and all things through You, which will strengthen me (Phil 4:13). You are the great I Am. The Lord of Hosts, nothing is impossible for You. Please bring to my mind how You want me to start and who I should talk to about this. Thank you for this honor and privilege. I know I can keep my eyes on You because You will equip me. Each day has its victory in You. In Your Holy name, I pray, Jesus. Amen.

The second prayer is to remove hate and bitterness from the hearts of those called to Feed the Lambs of Jesus Christ. The third prayer is based on John 17:10-26 where Jesus prayed for all His Disciples.

Jeremiah 3:15 (KJV) And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding.

Prayer For Those Dealing with Hate and Bitterness

Lord God Almighty, sanctify me in You in the name of Christ Jesus. You are my healer, the Lord Who Heals in Exodus 15, who changed bitter waters into sweet water. I can trust You to replace the hate in my heart with Your healing love. My heart is hurt by all of the hatred and bitterness in the world. Redeem me and be merciful to me. I long to praise You with my whole heart, but I am damaged by this storm of hatred and bitterness within me. How can I serve You when my heart is so easily swayed by the storms of evil around me? If You speak healing over me, I will be healed because Your Word accomplishes precisely what You want it to do. Please heal me. Amen.

Disciples Prayer

Holy Father of Love, sanctify us in Your Son, the Messiah. He prayed for us all before He returned to You (John 17:10-26). He prayed for our salvation and redemption in Him. He prayed for our sanctification, unity, protection, and deliverance from evil. You are our Lord God Almighty. All things are possible for You. Remember us. Help us love rightly and pray in unity for Your Glory. Help us be of one mind and heart in You through Christ. Be glorified in us and through us as we follow the Messiah of God. Your will be done within us as it is in Heaven. In Christ Jesus’s Holy name, I pray. Amen.
