An Enduring Prayer Poem by Reginald Walker

My Father, as the sun descends for its night rest;
I bring before your throne my sins I must confess.
From my daily concerns, please come and rescue me.
Create in me everything you would have for me to be.

My Father, everyday I desire to be blessed by you.
I need your mighty presence to be able to continue.
In you, I will always continue to trust and believe.
From your pathway, please bless me never to leave.

My Father, humbly before thee I kneel and pray.
I thank you for faithfully forgiving my sins today.
Please bless me with more wisdom to understand.
Nothing shall ever remove me from your loving hands.

My Father, please watch over me while I am asleep.
My life, I have placed in your merciful hands to keep.
In the midst of my considerable joy and severe pain
I will give anything just to experience your love again.

My Father, please faithfully continue to strengthen me.
Please grant me the hope of living with you in eternity.
God, I thank you for everything for me you have done.
I gratefully thank you for the love of your precious Son.
