David was called, to be a shepherd to his people. In 2 Samuel 5: 1-2 it is written:

Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, “The Lord said to you, ‘You shall be shepherd of my people Israel, and you shall be prince over Israel.’”

Prayer: Heavenly Father you do not see the leaders of a people as rulers, but as shepherds, because you are a shepherd yourself. The way you deal with us is completely different from what we often experience in this world. A shepherd cares for those entrusted to him. This is how we should deal with the people who are entrusted to us, motivated by the experience we have with you. To care and  to help each other. Give us this eye for your personality, so that we can encourage each other, especially in this challenging times.

You lead us through the Holy Spirit so we can see how we can help each other. To whom we should talk on the phone or give a little gift.

At this point we would also like to ask you for our government. Give them wisdom to make the right decisions. Bless them in their assignments and give them unity on the actions that must be taken, and which can be left out.

Heavenly Father, we ask you for wisdom among our people so that we do not endanger one another, but also find ways to encourage one another.

We ask you for people who are sick that you be with them and give wisdom and strength to the doctors and carers.

We also pray for the family members who have lost someone. Help us to be there for one another, just as a shepherd who is there for those entrusted to him. Let us be people like caring shepherds.
