Here’s
an opening prayer for Good Shepherd Sunday, or any other occasion on which God
is being portrayed as a Shepherd.
Opening Prayer
(inspired by Psalm
23, John 10)
Loving
Shepherd,
you know our names;
you care for us.
When we face darkness and death,
walk beside us.
When we hunger for your love,
fill us with your presence.
When we are fearful,
feed us at your table.
May we dwell in the house of goodness and mercy
all the days of our lives. Amen.
