Heavenly Father,
Renew in me the zeal of early days;
Restore to me the joy of your salvation;
Revive me by the Spirit’s power;
Rekindle desire to share the gospel with others.
In Jesus’ name, amen.
Keep me from losing heart in calmer waters
Hold me steady on the course of Christ,
Supply your Spirit’s wind to bear me along.
Do not lose me in the sudden storm;
Nor let me fall and drown in heavy seas.
Keep me from losing heart in calmer waters;
Daily renew resolve to serve and love.
Remind me I must never venture alone,
but travel with the seasoned crew of faith.
