I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. John 10:16, NIV
Bountiful God, your clement heart flows with undivided love, pervading the entire universe, encompassing the whole of humanity, making no distinction and transcending among people and kindred of all nations. Your Holy Spirit descends upon all the meritorious, offering dispensation of the promises of your Eternal Covenant to even the scattered flock who acknowledge our Lord Jesus as their Good Shepherd, their Light out of darkness, their Savior and Redeemer. We beseech you Father, to relieve us of the bondage of sin by striking the root of evil out from the earth, all that offends you, all lying, deceit, and hatred between nations. Grant that disunity and conflict may be replaced with a fresh renewal of faith, to produce a just flock for your eternal kingdom, where your Name may be honored with acclamation and rejoicing of both believers and unbelievers who yearn for you and receive conversion to be included in your flock. Yes, Lord God, we desire to be your children, your very own, in Jesus’ Name we proclaim. Amen
