PRAYER OF THE RETURNING DISCIPLE, Prayer for June 20
You, O God, are my Father.
King of all earth and heaven,
Good flows from You alone.
You give grace to the humble,*
In your hand are such blessings-
Of which man is not worthy.
On sin's dark path I stumble,
And far from You I wander;
But I see now and return,
And find that You will forgive
(For Christ made the payment)*
I know your love is waiting
To bless me and to restore.
God of might be my shield,
And guard me from all evil;
Be for me my Good Shepard.
When I face times of testing
I will seek You- my victor.
Guide my hand and my thinking;
May I hear Your voice whisper,
And go where You are leading.
May I put love on display
To guide men who are searching
For the True God worth serving.
May Christ walk with me today
As one would with his brother.
