Prayer based on John 21:16. Themes: Love, Service, Leadership.

Dear Lord, just as you asked Simon, son of Jonah, if he loved you, I too want to declare my love for you. You know my heart and my affection for you. Please guide me and show me how to tend to your sheep. Help me to be a faithful servant and to follow your will for my life. Thank you for your love and grace. Amen.
