BONUS: Shepherd's Prayer with Pastor Mark

Start your morning anchored in gratitude and lifted by a shepherd’s prayer that reaches from the heart of worship to the edges of daily need. We gather around a simple truth: every breath is a gift, and the God who woke us is able to carry us. Pastor Mark leads us through praise that names God as provider and defender, then moves into intercession for those who feel tired, unseen, or unable to pray. The language is honest about pressure and danger, especially for our young people, yet rooted in confidence that when the enemy rushes in, the Spirit raises a standard.

From there, we pivot to a deeper invitation: seek God’s face rather than just His hand. It’s a call to reorder desire, to choose presence over mere results, and to let character outgrow circumstance. We reflect on what it means to be living examples of grace—people who resist doing the bare minimum, who rise early to seek, and whose ordinary choices point quietly to hope. The prayer embraces healing as more than a moment, asking for relief from colds, flu, pain, chronic illness, and conditions called incurable, while honoring the courage it takes to keep asking and keep walking.

We close by asking God to be glorified in the small hours ahead—conversations at work, care for family, and private decisions that no one else sees. If you need a steady word to start the day or a gentle push to keep seeking, this time of prayer offers both. Share your prayer requests, connect with our daily devotionals, and stand with us as we lift one another. Subscribe, leave a review to help others find this space, and tell us: what are you seeking today—relief, renewal, or a deeper nearness to God?

Father God, in the name of Jesus, Lord, we thank you for another day, Lord, that you have woken us up to see, oh Lord, we thank you because you did not have to do it. We thank you because we realize that the only reason why we woke up all this morning, oh God, is because of your grace and mercy, Lord. We thank you for how you keep keeping us, oh Lord, for how you continue to move in our lives, oh Lord, for how you continue, Lord, to work on our behalf, for how you continue, oh God, to see us through situations, oh God, that we know that we can't see ourselves out of. Father, we tell you, thank you. We thank you, oh God, because you are our provider, Lord. You continue to provide a roof over our heads, oh Lord, clothes on our backs, shoes on our feet, God. We thank you, oh God, for food on our table. Oh God, we thank you, oh God, because where we lack, oh God, oh God, do you make up the difference, oh Lord? We thank you, Lord. Oh God, I thank you, oh God, because you are good. You are good all the time, oh God. Not a point in time do you cease to be good. Father, we exalt and praise your name, Lord. You are worthy. We magnify you, oh God. You are great, oh Lord, Roma Sha. You are great, O Lord. Oh God, I thank you, Lord, because you are good all by yourself. You don't need any help, oh Lord.

Oh God, we thank you, Lord. Because you're so good, Lord. We thank you, Lord. Because in all your ways you are perfect. Oh, we glorify you today, Lord. We give you glory, oh God. Oh God, your name is great, oh God. Your name, oh God, is perfect, oh Lord. We thank you, Lord. Oh God, we thank you, oh God, because you are our bread when we're hungry, Lord. Water when we're thirsty, oh God. And Father God, we thirst for you, oh Lord. Oh God, we thirst for you, Uriamasha. Oh God, we are hungry for your word, Lord. Oh God, we thirst for the more of you, Lord. Oh God, we ask, oh God, that you would, oh Lord, oh God, meet our needs on today, Lord. As we go on through this day, oh God, I pray, God, that you meet our needs, Lord. Oh God, we're here, oh God, standing in the need of prayer, Lord. Oh God, I pray, oh God, for all those, oh Lord, who cannot pray for themselves, Lord. Oh God, I pray, oh God, that you will touch on today, God. One by one, and name by name, Lord. I pray, oh God, that you, oh Shah, karama, yabasoga. Oh God, that you keep your arms and protection around them, oh God. In the name of Jesus. Oh God, I pray, God, that you look on our young people, Lord. Oh Lord, I pray, God, that you will touch them one by one and name by name. Oh Lord, I pray, God, that you keep them safe, Lord, from all hurt, harm, and danger, Lord. I pray, oh God, that you cancel the assignment of the enemy in the name of Jesus. He desires to sift us as we. Oh God, but I thank you, Lord, because we know, oh God, that when the enemy comes in like a flood, that the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. Oh God, I glorify you today, Lord. We honor you all today, oh God. I pray, oh God, uh, even now, Lord, um, that you get the glory out of our lives. Oh God, I want you to be glorified, Lord. Um, when people see us, oh God, I pray that they see a living manifestation, oh God. Um, oh God, of what somebody, oh God, uh, saved by grace looks like. Uh, oh God, we're always looking for examples, oh God, um, of why not to do, Lord. But God, I pray, oh God, um, that we're able, oh Lord, uh, to be, oh God, those, oh Lord, uh, that you can point to, oh God, um, oh God, and those, oh God, that can be an example, oh God, uh, of what a child of God looks like. Oh Lord, I pray, God, um, that you give us to not do the bare minimum, oh God, um, but you give us to seek thee the more, Lord. Um, oh God, early when we seek thee, oh God. Oh Lord, I pray, oh God, that you get the glory, oh God, in the name of Jesus. Oh God, I pray, oh Lord, oh God, that you touch, oh Lord, in the name of Jesus. Oh God, I pray even now, God, that you give us the mind to serve you the more. Give us a mind, oh Lord, to seek you out, oh Lord, to seek your face and not your hand. Oh hallelujah, Lord. Oh God, you said if my people which are called by my name would humble themselves and pray, seek my face and turn from the wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven that I will forgive their sins and heal their lands. Oh hallelujah, Lord. Oh God, I pray, oh God, that you give us to seek your face, give us to seek you, oh God, give us to seek your kingdom, oh God, in the name of Jesus, that all these things, oh Lord, be added unto us. Oh hallelujah, Lord. Oh Jesus, oh hallelujah, Lord, oh God, I pray, oh God, that if there be any sick among us, oh God, let you heal, oh God, let your healing virtue go out in the name of Jesus to all those that will receive it.

Oh hallelujah, Lord, be it uncurable diseases, Lord, we speak healing, oh God, oh hallelujah, Lord, oh God, I pray on today, God, that you get the glory, Lord. We want you to have the glory, oh God, oh God, I'm not praying, oh God, that I can seem like a wonder, oh Lord, in the eyes of the people, but I'm praying, oh God, because we need conversation with you. Oh, hallelujah, Lord. Um I'm praying, oh God, interceding for those, oh Lord, who do not know to pray for themselves in the name of Jesus. Have your way, oh God, have your way, Lord, as we go on through the day, Lord. Oh Lord, I pray that we find you as we seek you.
