Prayer for April 26-May 2, 2015 
Sermon Text: John 10:11-18

That we may grow in ready obedience to your voice

O Good Shepherd, we are thankful for your constant attention and care.  We rejoice that You know us by name and that You have been present to us so fully that we know You and recognize your voice.  We are surprised, but grateful, that we may know and be known by You in a manner that is similar to the knowledge that You and God the Father have of each other. 

Help us to grow in knowledge of You.  Help us to grow in ready obedience to your summons and command.  

Thank You for never abandoning us in the midst of trouble or threat.  Thank You for choosing to put your life on the line in order to save us and keep us safely enfolded in your precious flock.  

Thank You for taking your life back again, through the resurrecting power of God.  And thank You for renewing our lives as nurturing Shepherd and Sovereign.  Amen.
