Gospel of John Prayer

I'm teaching a New Testament survey class for high schoolers and we are currently going through the Gospel of John.  I crafted this prayer for us to pray as we begin our class and for us to use as we individually read through this Gospel.  I attempted to structure the prayer in a Trinitarian fashion and to use explicit language and concepts from the Gospel of John.

Gospel of John Prayer

Father, I believe you have sent your Son Jesus into

            the world to save the world;

            continue to draw me to Jesus through

                        the Gospel of John.[1]

Lord Jesus Christ, I believe you are the Good Shepherd

            who lays down your life for your sheep;

            Help me to hear your voice in

                        the Gospel of John.[2]

Holy Spirit, I believe you have been sent

            by the Father and the Son;

            Glorify Jesus and guide me into truth through

                        the Gospel of John.[3]
