'Lord! Please Turn Back To Us.'
Isaiah 63:17.
a) Why Lord?
b) Do You make us wander and stray from Your Ways?
c) Have You hardened our hearts.
d) So that we do not Fear or Revere You?
e) Return for the sake of Your Servants.

'While Christ Was With His People On Earth.'
John 17:12.
a) Christ here is Praying to the Father.
b) He is Praying about His Time on Earth with the Disciples.
c) He Protected them by the Name He was given by the Father.
d) He kept them safe by the Name He was given by the Father.
e) Not one of them was lost.
f) There was only one destined to be lost and doomed to destruction.
g) That was so that the Scripture might be fulfilled.

Chris.
When we ask the Lord to return to us there can generally be two specific reasons. The First Reason is that we are exhorted in the Bible to Pray for the Return of the Lord to us, opening the final chapter of our lives as True Believers. The Second reason is right here and now if we have spiritually "lost our way" and we are in some kind of spiritual desert. That is also a time for us to Pray for the Lord, as our Shepherd, to return to us and lead in the correct path.
